In March 2013, the Maryland Sierra Club joins fellow environmentalists in Annapolis to rally against immediate fracking in Maryland.
Four combustors make up a four well pad on Watkins Road just south of East Jewell Avenue. Combustors burn off the gas that flows back after fracking and burn cleaner than an open flare. State officials are tugged between oil industry interests — trying to make extraction easier and cheaper, especially in light of a recent drop in crude oil prices — and residents backed by local governments that want more control and oversight to keep rigs as far away from homes as possible.

Activists protest against fracking in Preston.
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.
