•      "Fracking Threatens America's Air, Water and Climate. It poisons our water, contaminates our air and emits massive greenhouse gas pollution. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves blasting huge volumes of water mixed with toxic chemicals and sand deep into the earth to fracture rock formations and release oil and natural gas. This extreme form of energy production endangers our health and wildlands. A fracking boom can transform an area almost overnight, creating massive new environmental and social problems. Fracking development is intensifying in Pennsylvania, Texas and North Dakota and moving into new areas, like California and Nevada. Will your state be fracked next? But as fracking spreads across America, communities are fighting back — and the Center for Biological Diversity is working to ban this growing threat." Source: The Center for Biological Diversity 

•      "The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to the highest standards of safety and responsible oil and gas development on public lands. As President Biden has repeatedly stated, oil and gas operations will continue into the future while we transition to a clean energy economy. Neither the President, the Secretary of the Interior, nor the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have proposed a moratorium on the practice of hydraulically fracturing oil and gas wells. The BLM also notes that States already have discretion over the use of hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas development on State and private lands. Hydraulic fracturing is a common practice for stimulating the flow of oil or gas from a wellbore, and the BLM estimates that the majority of oil and gas wells in production have been hydraulically fractured. The Department of the Interior is concerned that H.R. 1121 would unduly limit the President’s discretion in managing the safe and environmentally protective development of Federal resources from Federal lands. As such, the Department does not support the bill." Source: The Bureau of Land Management 

•      "Since taking office, President Biden has delivered on the most ambitious climate, conservation, and environmental justice agenda in history—taking bold action to reduce climate pollution across every sector of the economy, protecting more than 26 million acres of lands and waters, and restoring the vital role of science in guiding federal decision-making... As a result of the President’s economic and climate leadership, clean energy jobs are on the rise across the country, American manufacturing is booming, companies have announced hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy investments, and the country is on a path toward cutting climate pollution in half from 2005 levels by 2030 and achieving economy-wide, net zero emissions by no later than 2050."
