Click here to submit a public comment:Governor Brown’s administration was just forced to shut down 11 oil and gas waste injection sites over fears that they are contaminating drinking water in the Central Valley with fracking chemicals.1It’s not as if we have a lot of water to spare -- California just imposed its first-ever statewide water restrictions to cope with our historic climate-change-fueled drought.2
You’d think this would be a wake-up call to Governor Brown. But, instead, he’s proposed a revised draft of his terrible fracking regulations, which continue to greenlight expanded oil fracking in California— ignoring the more than 100,000 public comments calling for a ban on fracking that Californians submitted on the last draft of the regulations.
Governor Brown’s administration is accepting public comments on this latest round of regulations until Monday. We need to tell the governor that sacrificing California’s water to the fracking industry is unacceptable.

There is no way to safely regulate fracking; every state that has tried has failed.
So, while Governor Brown’s regulations have many flaws, there’s one truly fatal flaw: Allowing fracking in California to expand indefinitely.
Instead of standing up to protect our health, safety and climate, Governor Brown has so far been the single biggest barrier to doing so. He has not only refused to listen to the overwhelming majority of Californians who oppose fracking, he has even gone so far as to drown out their voices -- personally intervening to pressure the city of Carson into lifting its moratorium on fracking.
Still, we know Governor Brown feels the pressure we’re putting on him -- we’ve heard it from our friends in Sacramento, from the governor’s staff and even directly from the governor himself. That means we can still win this fight.
