Fort Worth Says, "Whoa" to Barnett Shale Drilling

Just Say Whoa

A new citywide organization could mean the tide is turning on urban gas drilling.
By JEFF PRINCE

A new group with influential members is preparing to challenge natural gas drilling inside Fort Worth city limits. The first order of business for the Coalition for a Reformed Drilling Ordinance (CREDO) will be to demand a moratorium on issuing any new drilling permits. Their literature includes a newly designed logo with “Whoa!” printed above and “Moratorium Now!” printed below a gas derrick.

Fort Worth residents are “Pissed Off,” about Chesapeake exercising eminent domain on their property.
