Fracking Moratorium Moves Forward

        Environmentalists are applauding the Senate panel's approval of a fracking moratorium.
        Fracking is a process where water and chemicals are pumped into the ground to extract oil.
        The bill calls for a moratorium on fracking until an impact study is complete.
        They also want certification by the governor that fracking is safe.
        Critics of the ban said it will put a lot of people out of work.
        It will cost millions in tax revenue.
        They also say fracking has been going on safely in California for years
