"Maryland General Assembly Approves Fracking Ban"

"The Maryland General Assembly on Monday gave final passage to a ban on fracking in the state, sending the measure to Gov. Larry Hogan for his promised signature.

Environmental advocates and climate change activists have pressed for years to ban the controversial form of drilling for natural gas also known as hydraulic fracturing, which had been proposed in Western Maryland.

Hogan surprised the advocates this month when he threw his support behind the ban legislation."
