Green Party leader Thomas Trappenberg commends the government’s ongoing commitment to the moratorium on fracking. Trappenberg adds that he will fight any future decision to allow fracking in the province: “I have three words for anyone who would gamble Nova Scotia’s groundwater on such a pipeline dream: no fracking way.”

With fracking put to bed, Trappenberg would like to see the province focus on building alternative industries to boost the number of green jobs. “Our carbon economy is dying. It is time to move forward. Nova Scotia should not be left behind.”
