Here’s some good news for all those Americans who stand against the practice of hydraulic fracking. During a California state convention, a ban on fracking was unanimously approved by a panel of Democratic leaders including Gov. Brown, State Attorney General Kamala Harris, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Although, Gov. Jerry Brown was willing to explore the option, an overwhelming majority of Democrats nevertheless moved to prohibit fracking in California for good. Among other important issues such as an adjusted minimum wage and the legalization of medical marijuana, fracking was probably the most-debated issue across The Golden State. Hydrofracking, also spelled fracing or fraccing, is defined as the process of drilling and injecting fluid at a high pressure to fracture shale rocks underneath the Earth’s surface in order to release trapped gas or crude oil. carbonated.tv/news/california-democrats-move-to-ban-fracking-in-state
