Time to reinforce clean drinking water act standards and perhaps new supporting legislation is required ? It is a bit hypocritical to outlaw fracking but let piped gas run under rivers and through clean rural areas in Maryland. The point is we want a clean state that benefits from a clean environment not only for health of Maryland Residents but encourage clean natural areas that supports businesses which depends on a health and robust natural environment.

PA fracking is notorious.
THEY are closing people well water source, cracking the well casing and destroying their ability to access water from their properties. Forcing the use of "city water".
The Cove Point LNG facility, from what I've read, is sending almost all it's LNG to India (which has 1.3 billion people). Europe wants to get it's gas from Russia via the Nordstream2 but of course the endless "hate Russia" insanity in this country is trying to sway Europe to pay for the more expensive LNG from the U.S. This video didn't discuss where the fracked gas in this pipeline will go: who will be buying this gas? Will this pipeline connect into Cove Point to create LNG for overseas consumption?
Let's hope enough people come out in November and elect Ben Jealous for governor…Hogan is a JOKE!!!!
See who is financing the pipeline. You realize that most of ths gas goes to Europe. You have to quit Greenwashing Europe since they have made no progress in electric vehicles. Worse than that the Germans conspired in 2009 to not filter out particles and they cheated on Europeanŝ lungs. I know that the Swiss Central Bank has 11% in renwable energy, and 73% in fossil fuels. They say that Switzerland alone could account for 6°C of warming. I am trying like hell to get them to listen.
Direct action will be required to stop the pipeline and protect your drinking water.
