Fracking is not ‘responsible development’ of Ohio’s state parks and public lands
The article argues that claims by the oil and gas industry characterizing fracking in Ohio public lands as “responsible development” are false, asserting that these lands belong to all Ohioans. It advocates for a shift to reliable renewable energy sources like solar and wind, noting that supermajority lawmakers have allegedly expanded natural gas fracking despite its documented negative impacts on climate, water, and biodiversity.
