t r u t h o u t | Fracking in the Pacific Ocean? You bet. The public knew almost nothing about the use of fracking technology in the ocean until Truthout uncovered evidence of fracking operations in the Santa Barbara Channel, where the catastrophic oil spill of 1969 is not forgotten.
In July, we published an investigative report revealing for the first time the extent of offshore fracking, based on documents I unearthed while following up an initial Truthout report from October 2012.
The story quickly spread into the mainstream media, sparking outcry among environmental groups and public officials in California. Nine California lawmakers have since called for a federal investigation and the California Coastal Commission has launched its own investigation into offshore fracking.
This is just one example of how solid investigative journalism can impact public policy and hold the rich and powerful accountable. But to keep publishing stories like this, Truthout needs your help.
