Document Summary
* global anti-fracking movement as a social movement. *natural gas as a bridge fuel to a low carbon future. * currently provincial de facto and de jure moratoria quebec, new brunswick, newfoundland and labrador, and nova scotia, and yukon territory various jurisdictions in canada. These moratoria are in places that are very notable, that do not have existing fracking taking place has happened in the western provinces and ontario before. Very difficult to get moratoria in place once the development has already occurred maybe because the damage has already occurred and different constituencies, different groups of people have benefited from it. May not be the local people who benefited but certainly the natural gas companies, people who are financing them/investing in them, public treasury if they are getting royalties and taxes from it are benefiting. These are very powerful institutions and powerful lobby groups that want to maintain that level of development or want to increase it.
