text: Waterkeepers Chesapeake Joins 60 Organizations to Call for Maryland Fracking Moratorium - Waterkeepers Chesapeake
  May 8, 2020 January 13, 2015
  Organizations warn that permitting fracking in Maryland poses significant threats to the health and safety of Marylanders, and to the quality of our air, water and soil
  "The safest thing to do in Maryland on fracking is to first and foremost get a moratorium in place," said Chesapeake Climate Action Network Executive Director Mike Tidwell. "The moratorium gives us time to adequately assess the health, economic and climate aspects of this dangerous drilling practice before moving forward on it. We have banded together with public health, environmental, and civic groups across the state to form the largest coalition ever built on this issue to pass the moratorium bill."
