"McCrory enthusiastic about fracking, Dalton wary of safety"

This story follows up on lengthy interviews with each candidate. Most interesting are the comments from those who will not vote for McCrory because of fracking.

1. Fracking seems a powerful issue in NC

McCrory continues to push fracking. It is costing him support, particularly in the libertarian and independent demographics.

3. Dalton squashes it pretty good

"... if you fracked all you could possibly frack in North Carolina, it would produce six days of national supply," Dalton said. "Now I was a business major at UNC, and that tells me that fracking will never be done in a commercial sense in North Carolina. That is not enough demand to create those jobs, and those jobs are six to eight years out."
