John Fenton -- a Pavillion, Wyoming farmer and resident with 24 gas wells on his farm -- spoke in person about the battle against fracking in the USA to a packed Stop CSG Illawarra meeting on Mar 2 2014. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found fracking in Pavillion, Wyoming polluted the water. Drinking water is now trucked in by the gas company, and the EPA instructed residents to use a fan when running the water to avoid the risk of explosion from a build up of gas. Water from the bores and taps in the district can be lit and some residents have developed major health problems connected with chemical pollution.
