Breaking News....Stunning DEFEAT For Natural Gas Industry!

Breaking News...Delaware River Basin Commission just canceled Monday's vote to allow fracking in the basin, because they wouldn't have the votes they needed to allow fracking. This is a huge victory for the Grassroots Environmental groups opposed to Hydraulic Fracturing...the Delaware River Basin Commission has pushed the vote back to the week of Thanksgiving to thwart efforts to hold a major protest back in October...the vote on Monday November 21st was to be a rubber stamping of the Natural Gas industry's wishes to begin massive Gas Drilling within the Delaware River Basin. Without actually coming out and saying it, the cancellation of Monday's vote is an admission that the Commission does not have the votes they need.

Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard for this victory, though we all know that our work is FAR FROM OVER.
