Re: “Would you vote to ban new oil wells and fracking in SLO County?”
Please vote to ban fracking and ban new oil wells. Please vote to protect our precious ground water! Lets promote clean energy and put solar panels on every roof. Lets drive electric cars! Lets protect SLO and do our part to change the world and address climate change. Leave the oil in the ground.

We need to invest in renewables! Put solar panels on our the roof. Plug in our cars and get clean, Fracking here would be insane given the ground water and earthquakes fault lines. More oil wells is not the right direction. Go renewable! Kate

Re: “County measure to ban fracking and oil drilling fails”
It is a shame that the voters who have were unduly influenced by misinformation spread through very mode of communication. It was a campaign of false advertising. But many people believed the advertising from the oil companies. As a voter one must be very careful to find out who is really putting out the information. Find out who is paying for the advertising. Eight million dollars spent by the oil companies appears to be enough to buy the opportunity to drill baby drill and frack out earthquack prone lands of SLO County. . Pretty cheap price actually when you think about it. How sad is that. I hope in the next fight the voters will be better informed, read the measure, and vote in their own best interest. We voters just helped big oil to destroy our environment only to line the pockets of oil executives and shareholders. Our future must be a clean energy future. Our water, our way of life, and our planet are on the line.
