US Forest Service Green Lights Fracking in East Coast’s Largest National Forest


Despite the objections of environmental groups and Virginia’s Governor Terry McAuliffe, the U.S. Forest Service has left the door open to allow fracking in the East Coast’s largest national forest with the release of the forest’s new management plan. The USFS had originally considered banning fracking in George Washington National Forest, but energy companies complained when the draft plan was released in 2011.
