Gov. Wolf puts moratorium on fracking in state parks and forrests

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 16:55

Governor Tom Wolf says he is taking steps to protect the environment.


He signed an executive order today, re-instating the ban on new drilling leases on public lands.


This means companies will not will allowed to expand the extraction of natural gas from state parks and forests.


Wolf's action today supersedes a past order signed by former Governor Tom Corbett. Environmentalists are praising the action.


But others are calling it a 'political move' and 'unnecessary.'.
