Hundreds gather to debate fracking
August 20, 2014
RALEIGH, N.C. - Nearly 600 people on Wednesday showed up at North Carolina State's McKimmon Center to voice their opinions about fracking to the state's Mining and Energy Commission for the first time since Gov. Pat McCrory signed the "fracking bill" into law in January.
The day started with a peaceful protest outside the center, where more than 100 people spoke and sang out against fracking in North Carolina.
"People should be frightened, and more importantly, angry that this is happening in our state," said Caroline Hansley, Field Organizer for Greenpeace.
