Activists take fracking fight to feds' homes

Environmental activists are targeting the homes of federal energy officials in a week-long series of protests aimed at a key government agency that they blame for “rubber-stamping” fossil fuel projects that encourage fracking.

Activists plan to hold vigils at the homes of all four members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this week to coincide with the commission’s public meeting on Thursday. Activists are expected to demonstrate in force outside FERC headquarters in Washington and likely will attempt to bring the protest into the building, as has been the case in the past.
