California bills could delay fracking

This is the bill that will pass.  What an unfortunate state of affairs that will be.  Remember, fracking has been going on in CA for decades.

And nobody ever noticed.

One bill calls for a moratorium on the practice until the state conducts a sweeping study of fracking's benefits and risks, including the potential for groundwater contamination.

Another piece of legislation would allow fracking while the state conducts such a study. But the same bill, from Sen. Fran Pavley, would slap a moratorium on fracking if the study isn't finished by 2015.

"What I'm trying to do is say to the oil companies, 'Look, if there's never been a problem with fracking, if it's safe, you need to prove that to the public,' " said Pavley, D-Agoura Hills (Los Angeles County).

Oh, that's easy!  Just look at the fact fracking has already been going on there for decades!

CA, you are saturated with idiots.
