The pressure is on Pennsylvania lawmakers to put a moratorium on drilling that protects the entire state.
The moratorium would mean a full stop to drilling, at least until a comprehensive study can show that fracking is definitely safe for Pennsylvania's communities and climate. It would also mean critical breathing room for the parts of the state that have been overrun with drilling in the past few years.
Organizations from across PA have gathered 85,000 signatures in support of a stop to drilling, and the goal is to reach 100,000 before delivering them to the Governor at the end of April.
