Here's the email I sent:

Dear Tim Shular and the team responsible for the second revised text of SB 4,

Thank you to the team of people who are attempting to regulate "well stimulation treatment" aka FRACKING in our state of California, a state that possesses so many well known fault lines, is undergoing severe drought, and has issues with pollution already. I think you know and we all know that petroleum products are on their way out, and other renewable, non-polluting sources of energy are up and coming. Embedded in the lanugage of your latest revision of SB 4 are many words such as "estimates" and "assessments" when it comes to the foresight of possible damage to our lands and the health of our waters, earth and people. The truth is, fracking has consequences which are impossible to foresee and prepare for. Additives of acids and other chemicals to the earth are simply unacceptable poison to the soil. Asking the oil companies to estimate "axial dimensional stimulation area" (ADSA) seems preposterous to me. Once this type of activity starts in one area of our state, no one knows for sure what it can set off along the many fault lines. No one knows for sure - period - but we do know fracking uses obscene amounts of precious water and pumps deadly chemicals into our soils. Our legislatures are bending to big oil to continue this maddness - why? Other areas are banning fracking altogether. I urge you to do the same.

Sincerely,

Kai.Daniel.Lewis
