Pennsylvania Colleges to Allow Fracking on Campus

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/312-16/14089-pennsylvania-colleges-to-allow-fracking-on-campus

Students in the Keystone State will have to get acquainted with the idea of cracking down in a way that's unrelated to their level of academic discipline. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has authorized schools to allow fracking on college campuses.

Governor Corbett signed his name to Pennsylvania Senate Bill 367 this week, and with it gave his seal of approval for schools to cut contracts with energy companies to open the door for oil drilling and coal mining corporations to set up shop on campuses across the state. By authorizing that act, though, companies that conduct hydraulic fracturing drills, or "fracking," will be allowed to conduct tests on school grounds.
