DENVER, CO - DECEMBER 09: Protesters gathered out front of the Colorado Supreme Court Building to protest fracking before hearings on local communities and fracking on Wednesday, December 09, 2015. The two hearing focus on Longmonts 2012 ban on fracking and Fort Collins 2013 moratorium. The oil and gas industry sued to overturn these measures, contending that the local governments have no power to regulate the industry, or control the location and practices of any oil and gas activities in their borders.
