¶ … Pennsylvania Act 13? Compare it to Vermont's May 2012 legislation: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2012/Bills/Intro/H-464.pdf Compare these with the New York State decision on local control of fracking found in Doc Sharing at.
The Pennsylvania Act 13 of 2012 provides tougher environmental standards, and authorizes local governments to assess an impact fee on fracking operations but is otherwise intended to facilitate the extraction of natural gas from unconventional sources. The Act's provisions include (a) increased setback requirements for unconventional gas development; (b) enhanced protection of water supplies; and (c) strong, uniform, consistent statewide environmental standards. Based on this framework, Pennsylvania seeks to ensure the responsible development of these important resources. By contrast, the New York State decision on local control of fracking In re Cooperstown Holstein Corp. v. Town of Middlefield made it clear that the local communities retain jurisdiction over the roads...
According to Patel (2012), though, "France isn't prepared to tap its shale energy resources until 'clean technologies' are invented to replace hydraulic fracturing, Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg said" (para. 1). The announcement on August 29, 2012 reaffirmed the French parliament's ban on fracking and effectively ceased all further exploration for shale gas in southern France at this time using fracking (Patel, 2012).

Legal Issues in Hydraulic Fracturing This study provides a comprehensive elaboration of the legal implications of hydraulic fracturing. Moreover, it reviews the environmental issues associated with the process of hydraulic fracturing. The role of hydraulic fracturing in the United States energy needs is also reviewed. Some of the environmental issues raised concerning the process include ground water contamination, chemical implications as well as air contamination. The legal issues handled include the
Legal Issues in Hydraulic Fracturing Energy is major driving factor in all daily activities, from home use to industries. There are various sources of energy, the major one being natural gas and petroleum. Throughout the years, methods of harvesting these forms of energy have been met by many challenges. However, with the advancing steps made in technology as a field, new ways of harvesting the petroleum and gas energy have been
The growing opposition to the shale gas industry has conflicted with the need for domestic independence on energy and a reasonable debate is understandably created. Like a Pandora's box, a great and helpful technology has been afforded to the people of this country in the form of hydraulic fracturing, however this technology must be tempered in order for the true and real benefits to be realized. Debate and opposition on
Legislative History of Fracking Legislative history is a term used to refer to the background or events that contribute to the enactment of a statute (Taylor, p.1). This process includes various activities and/or events such as committee reports, hearings, and floor debates. Apart from referring to events leading to the enactment of a law, legislative history is usually documented so that it can be utilized in the future to help in
Title: Hydraulic Fracturing: Understanding the Controversial Extraction Method Introduction Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, is a controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil from deep underground rock formations. This process involves injecting high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals into shale or other rock formations to create fractures, allowing the trapped gas or oil to flow more freely and be extracted. The use of hydraulic fracturing has sparked intense debate between those who
