John,
New research from our affiliated organization, Food & Water Watch, disrupts the false narrative that fracked natural gas is a less-polluting alternative to coal!
The only way toward a renewable energy future is to ban fracking and to stop all new fossil fuel development. Our research and our work on the ground are building the political support we need to stop climate change.
The latest sign of progress came just today: Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has introduced important new legislation that will ban new fracking and natural gas infrastructure while phasing out existing wells. This bold proposal moves us in the right direction.1
Sign our petition showing your support for banning fracking and legislation that moves us toward a renewable energy future.

Food & Water Watch's new report — Fracking’s Bridge to Climate Chaos: Exposing the Fossil Fuel Industry’s Deadly Spin — shows that pervasive leaks of methane (a dangerous greenhouse gas) make fracked gas as dangerous as coal, underscoring the toll that fracking has taken on our air, water, and climate.
Our research finds that methane emissions from gas produced for power plants have an even greater climate impact than the CO2 emitted at power plants. The idea that fracking helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions is industry spin — false justification for dangerous new gas infrastructure.
The corporations that hype fracking are really trying to lock us into a dirty future powered by fossil fuel. It’s a future that leads to more gas plants, more leaky pipelines, more compressor stations, more processing plants, and more dangerous storage facilities.
Ban Fracking Now

Renewable energy and storage eliminate any need for fracked gas. All the technologies needed to support a transition to 100 percent renewable electricity exist at commercial scale and at equal or cheaper costs compared to fossil fuels.
Fracked gas is not a bridge to clean energy. It’s time to fight for a clean, just and equitable renewable energy future.
Add your name: Ban fracking and stop all new fossil fuel development and promote a rapid transition to a clean energy future.
