We certainly can’t speak for former Governor McCrory, but we can offer a look at her public statements. Earlier this year, the governor indicated that she supports hydraulic fracturing, and “energy policies that create jobs and lower costs for businesses and families.” However, hydraulic fracturing is new to North Carolina, and she requested that regulations and safety procedures be put into place before drilling begins. Recently, a bill was introduced in the North Carolina State Senate to end the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing which was passed out of the committee of jurisdiction and is not headed for a vote by the full senate.
