Dr. Sandra Steingraber, biologist and author of the book Living Downstream, testified on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 before a packed Illinois House legislative committee in Springfield, IL against the fracking legislation, Senate Bill 1715.  She testified that the long-term effects of modern fracking on human health and the environment aren’t understood yet.   Steingraber said opponents of fracking would fight the bill with “Churchillian resolve” every step of the way, even engaging in civil disobedience if necessary.
