Boycott anyone?

I think the article has a better suggestion:
"For now, the best citizens can do is to stay informed on the issue and participate in the process by supporting local environmental nonprofits. People need to get more involved in the political process by electing local, state and federal politicians who will work to strengthen oil and gas regulations..."

When you do things right. people won't be sure that you've done anything at all.
Both ideas will be fine, but a little pressure from buying gas at other stores won't hurt.
Thanks for the link. Here's some more from ecowatch:Originally Posted by Tess
The future Tennessee Valley?

Dont worry the head of the Walmart foundation has been appointed by Obama to take care of this
Relax!
We are just testing the limits of our more advanced forms of engineering and technology by injecting poison into our acquifiers. Then to prove that corporations are really philanthropic, they will sell us the antidote!
It's all part of the plan guys. Corporations are people too!

Any effort to lift the injection-well ban should be accompanied by comprehensive studies looking at risks and costs – environmental and economic. That doesn’t even include other concerns, such as whether fracking raises the potential for earth tremors or sinkholes, mineral rights for people whose land sits on those shale beds and the potential contamination of wells near fracking activity.
Rushing into oil and gas exploration without first having the necessary safeguards in place could spell disaster for our state. In a modern society – for the foreseeable future, at least – businesses, homes and vehicles still depend on fossil fuels. Many North Carolinians support efforts to extract natural gas from shale beds and oil from the continental shelf, while others remain skeptical if not entirely opposed.
But few people would sanction such exploration if it means fouling our natural resources and endangering public health.
