1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Fracking Ban Act . 2. Findings Congress finds that— (1) the chemicals injected into the ground during the hydraulic fracturing process include acids, detergents, and toxic chemicals that put drinking water at risk; (2) hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, extracts natural gas containing methane, a greenhouse gas that traps more than 86 times the heat of carbon dioxide in the short term; (3) the process of fracking results in further methane leakages that could increase carbon pollution in the United States by 25 percent by 2050; (4) fracked natural gas is not a bridge fuel, as previously understood; (5) even if every coal plant were replaced by fracked gas electricity by 2030, emissions would remain on track to grow through 2050 due in part to pervasive methane leaks that make fracked gas as dangerous as coal; (6) similarly, even if methane leaks could be totally eliminated, the direct emissions from burning the huge volumes of natural gas the United States plans to produce in the next decade do not fit in safe climate scenarios; (7) the American Petroleum Institute reports that up to 95% of natural gas wells in the next decade in the United States will be fracked ; (8) renewable energy and storage eliminate any need for fracked gas; (9) all the technologies needed to support a transition to 100 percent renewable electricity exist at commercial scale and equal or cheaper costs compared to fossil fuels; (10) significant carbon reductions are impossible if even 10 percent of electricity comes from natural gas going forward; (11) in some instances, fracking operations violate property rights by taking the land of property owners for drilling and transportation of fracked gas
