    • Libertarian Party Johnson on fracking

    • In November 2011, Johnson said he would "keep an open mind" on fracking. He cautioned, however, that "the fact that in Pennsylvania you could turn your faucet on and get water before fracking, and afterwards you could light it — that's a concern. That's a real, live concern.”[2]
