Illinois is not far behind. According to an editorial in the June 3 Champaign News Gazette our speaker of the house Madigan threw a monkey wrench in southern Illinois fracking by "calling for a two year moratorium on horizontal hydraulic fracturing and for the creation of a 13 member task force that would gather information and make recommendations about regulating fracking in Illinois."
I suspect Mad-again is, as usual, simply mad and imagines being against fraking is highly popular ~ well, it is in her circles, but none of us know any of those people.
Who owns the mineral rights is probably own the minds of some legal beagle there and he'll get rich off any conflict.
