Fracking Industry Counter Measures in Colorado
A video truck urges people not to sign petitions in support of Colorado state ballot petitions 75 and 78, in a park where workers gathered signatures to get proposals on the November ballot. Initiative 75 is a response to the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in May that invalidated restrictions and moratoria on fracking put into place by local communities like Longmont and Fort Collins. If passed, it would give local governments more say in citing and regulating oil and gas activity in their jurisdictions. Initiative 78 proposes mandatory 2,500-foot setbacks between certain energy development and houses, schools and water sources.

Hydraulic Fracturing in Colorado
Natural gas tanks, fracking rigs and pipelines share backyards and farmland with people in Weld County, northern Colorado. The area is one of the most densely fracked regions of the United States. Fracking drill rigs first drill deep into the earth to reach oil and gas trapped in shale formations. Horizontal drilling then is used to pump millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals into the shale to fracture it and release fossil fuels.
