Fracking Debacle in North Carolina.
July 4, 2012 12:13 AM

Wow. This is too hard to believe:

A veteran lawmaker in North Carolina says she pushed the wrong button late Monday night in a marathon legislative session and accidentally opened up the state to fracking.

Rep. Becky Carney, a five-term Democrat from Charlotte, burst into tears after mistakenly voting with Republicans to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of the contentious legislation. The measure lifts the ban on hydraulic fracturing as a means for mining for natural gas.

Do-overs are commonly granted and these Repubs could easily have granted one...How many heads are exploding in North Caronlina over this? Sheesh!
