Colorado Supreme Court to Make Historic Ruling on Fracking Bans
Tensions are rising to a crescendo across Colorado as the Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to hear the extremely controversial issue of whether fracking bans and long-term moratoriums are allowed in the state.
Back in 2012 and 2013, five Colorado cities—Boulder, Broomfield, Lafayette, Longmont and Fort Collins—all enacted long-term moratoriums or bans. Boulder County also enacted a long-term moratorium.
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper continues to be a very controversial and outspoken supporter of fracking across the state—he opposed the bans and moratoriums and then he forced the State of Colorado to sue Longmont when their ban took effect (he later dropped the lawsuit).
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper challenges State Attorney General over federal environmental rule lawsuits
Hickenlooper is asking the Supreme Court to declare that the Governor, not the Attorney General, has ultimate authority to decide on behalf of the State of Colorado whether to sue the federal government, and to force the attorney general to withdraw from the lawsuits against the federal environmental regulations.
