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. 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.Locations:Colorado-North America-United States of America-Weld County (Colorado)Date:25 Jul, 2016Credit:© Les Stone / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5760px X 3840pxKeywords:Activists-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Fossil fuel (energy)-Hydraulic fracturing-KWCI (GPI)-Money-Natural gas industry-Oil (Industry)-One person-Outdoors-Petitions-Signs-Summer-Theatrical costumes-TrucksShoot:Hydraulic Fracturing in ColoradoNatural 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.Related Collections:Hydrofracking in Colorado (Photos & Videos)
