There is a big argument in the Golden State on natural gas also known as Hydraulic Fracturing. which involves blasting toxic chemicals into the ground to draw up energy resources. Voters will come together to see if they will ban "fracking" which is harmful to the environment. In this article they say that fracking has been destroying the environment and has been contaminating their waters with this toxic waste. "U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act. The proposal would ban the creation of new wastewater injection wells and ponds, as well as new oil and gas wells, throughout Monterey County in the Bay Area." (Huff). It shows that for 20 years violations by natural gas industries on using the wells that have been contaminating the waters. They have not been using the natural gas that they get wisely. The wells that they are using are not clean and are having too much waste which is hurting th water supply that is clean that people drink. All over the country there have been problems about fracking. California is the main place where water is becoming more scarce. There have been too many droughts here. There are at least 2,100 active oil wells throughout the state that are operating in zones that are not cleared which means that it is illegal.
