How can a President ban fracing?

Just curious how you can legally ban something that’s been in practice for almost 75 years?

Through the permitting as I understand it

It won't be outright banned. But a play from Obamma will be brought back in... no future permits will be issued.

They can’t. States regulate these activities on private lands. The federal government can only change permitting on federal lands, and that will mainly hit New Mexico Permian and Colorado possibly in places. Most of the remaining plays would be largely unaffected.

So, the Texas Railroad Commission is a Federal Agency?

Overwhelm frackers with regulations.

An Executive Order wouldn't do it? It's not like fracking is specifically protected by the Constitution. I would certainly imagine immediate litigation in federal court, but can't immediately come up with the legal basis for such litigation.

No but the EPA is

Congress would have to pass a law for the president to sign. If that doesn’t happen the president can only ban fracing on federal land.

No executive order can override the states ability to legislate their own oil and gas and mineral extraction industries. See each state that has a railroad commission, conservation office, etc. I don’t see congress liking their constituents being cold, hungry, and in the dark should they eliminate natural gas production in the United States.

Deny permits on “federal” land really and then pile on needless regulations.
It will negatively affect a lot of Americans and communities.

I'll roll with that. I certainly wouldn't want him to have any such power. Don't get me wrong on that...

A president can’t generally ban fracking except for fed lands. So offshore, some bakken, a lot of prb, some niobrara and the NM side of the Delaware should be concerned.

Most of the land in the Permian is known as PSL or Public School Lands. It's a state thing.

Spending Clause.

Probably why I clearly mentioned New Mexico permian and Colorado / powder river, huh? Bakken I’m not sure about but it’s so drilled up I doubt it’s very material. Pine dale could be in trouble in that scenario too but with wells down to 5 ac spacing its likely got little left to give.

Many existing wells will eventually require additional fracking as well output declines.
