On Wednesday, May 25th resolutions filed by the shareholder advocacy group As You Sow will
be voted on by investors at the annual meetings of three U.S. energy corporations: Chevron,
ExxonMobil, and Ultra Petroleum. The resolutions ask for a report on the environmental and financial risks of hydraulic fracturing (commonly referred to as “fracking”) in natural gas drilling. Fracking is a process of injecting a mixture of water, chemicals, and particles underground to create fractures through which gas can flow for collection.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

ExxonMobil in Dallas, Texas; and Ultra Petroleum in Calgary, Alberta. Resolution proponents filed shareholder rebuttals with the SEC and produced investor fact sheets which are available for ExxonMobil, Ultra Petroleum, and Chevron.
