Freelance journalist Josh Wengler investigates the “largest ever public outcry” against fracking in the Commonwealth and finds it looks more like a cheap stunt than anything else, with all too little credibility.

In a press release circulated by the activist group PennEnvironment recently and echoed by Food and Water Watch, a consortium of anti-fracking groups proclaimed a powerful achievement: Delivery of a petition bearing more than 100,000 signatures to the Pennsylvania legislature and the Corbett administration calling for a moratorium on all gas drilling in the state “until our environment and public health can be protected.”

“This is believed to be the largest public outcry on fracking in state history,” reads the release. Really?
