WOOT!! DRBC Cancels 11/21/11 Fracking Vote!!!!
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 09:27 PM by grntuscarora
The upcoming meeting which would've voted on regs allowing fracking in the Delaware River Basin has been cancelled. Looks like DE, NY and the WH saved the day!! The full Josh Fox announcement can be found at http://savethedelaware.wordpress.com/ :


"VICTORY!!!!!! DRBC VOTE CANCELLED! Stay tuned for next steps. Another announcement in the morning.
.
by joshfoxgasland

DRBC VOTE CANCELLED!

YOU DID IT. YOU WON.

All of your calls. All of your emails. Your pledges to swarm the DRBC in Trenton on November 21st.

All of your pressure and all of your strength.

You stopped fracking in the Delaware River Basin for now. You won this round. It is not a complete victory but it is a huge victory. You brought us back from the brink of total devastation.

What cancellation means: The DRBC doesn’t hold a meeting to vote down their regulations. I’ve only ever seen them vote to approve things. Which means they cancel the meeting if they no longer have 3 out of 5 commissioners voting in favor of fracking. Which is exactly what they have done. They don’t cancel meetings often, let alone votes. Your voice made a tremendous difference. I am humbled, proud and beyond thankful."

5. I hope we can find out who else decided to vote no.

I want to know what Chris Christie decided.

8. This is wonderful!!
They'll keep trying, but this is a step in the right direction. The longer this can be stalled the more people will become aware of the danger to them, their families and their homes from fracking.
