The Wall Street Journal has taken notice of Proposition 112: 

Colorado voters in November will consider banning oil and gas drilling within 2,500 feet of homes, businesses and many green spaces, a move that would effectively prohibit it in most of the U.S.’s seventh largest oil-producing state.

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office said Wednesday that antifracking activists had collected enough valid signatures from state voters to put the issue on the fall ballot. That sets the stage for a heated political battle in a fast-growing state where suburban development and oil and gas production have been steadily encroaching on one another, exacerbating tensions.
