Gov. Jerry Brown (D) will sign California bill SB4, regulating hydraulic fracturing into law in the weeks ahead.
Initially environmental groups were positive about regulations set forth in the bill. Several amendments later, leading groups withdrew support of SB4 because loopholes still allow for circumstances that pose great risk to human and environmental health.
Whether you reside in California or Canada, this bill will set a precedence for regulating the fracking industry. We need to understand the loopholes SB4 has and how we can improve legislation to address the myriad of health and environmental threats we all face from future fracking.
