SB county will vote on Fracking Ban in November

Some news from our neighbor to the north: A group calling themselves Santa Barbara Water Guardians have gotten a proposition on the ballet that would ban "High-Intensity Petroleum Operations. High-Intensity Petroleum Operations include hydraulic fracturing (also known as fracking), acid well stimulation treatments, cyclic steam injection and other types of oil and gas development that use advanced well stimulation technologies." in Santa Barbara County. 


The group says the proposition will only apply to new projects.

VCInFocus is awaiting a response from Western States Petroleum Association for the industry's take on Prop P.
