North Carolina environmental advisory group recommends fracking delay

According to the Herald-Sun, Durham’s Environmental Affairs Board presented a report on Wednesday that advises taking more time to understand the potential impacts of fracking before giving it the go-ahead. The report advocates postponing legalization of fracking in North Carolina until 2016, and putting a four-year moratorium on fracking in the case state legislation allows it before then.

“We need to make sure that what happens in Durham, is applicable for Durham, and maybe there should be places that never allow wells,” Deborah Luecken, chair of the Durham Environmental Affairs Board, said.
