Maryland’s Republican Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday followed in the footsteps of New York to become the second state in the nation to ban the oil and gas drilling practice known as fracking.
Hogan signed a bill banning the process from being used in the state one week after it was passed by the state legislature. The state has no oil companies that are using the drilling method, which has made the U.S. a global leader in fossil fuel production.
