Really horrible.

Fracking should be banned in the state of Colorado. And order all oil & gas industry who uses our limited amount of water to pay a huge fine so big that they have to think about whether its worth it or not to frack in Colorado.

Also, I would enact a law that frackers who has damaged our environment are ordered to drink the toxic water that they used.
