Fortunately no one was killed, but firefighters can't even get close enough to put out the blaze. It's too soon to assess the environmental damage to the Gulf, but way past time to ban fracking. Drilling for natural gas isn't safe in the Gulf, and fracking for it on land is even more dangerous. The industry's use of fracking is skyrocketing, and now the feds want to allow them to frack on public lands. <a href="http://www.webaction.org/site/R?i=KwRBZ6ZU6ht6z_05bLBtSQ" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 181, 242); "><strong>Will you join us in telling BLM to ban fracking on public lands—before something else blows up?</strong></a></p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Jesse from Environmental Action</p><div><br></div></body></html>
