Elaine Sargent on Banning Fracking in Escambia County, Florida

On August 20, 2015, the Escambia County Board of Commissioners voted 3 to 2 to recommend to the state legislature that the latter ban fracking throughout the state in order to protect our most valuable natural resource--water that supports our agricultural and tourist industries, as well as supplying the most basic element supporting our species and life on this planet.

Before the vote, CJ's Street Report had a brief chance to ask Elaine Sargent, the head of the Pensacola chapter of 350.org to explain why it was important for the commissioners to recommend a state-wide ban on fracking.
