QPQ: Done.

Overall: I think ALT0 is preferable to ALT1. It may be worth considering, adding to the hook that carrying fracked gas isn't illegal, but that might make it unwieldy. Epicgenius (talk) 17:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I agree that ALT0 is more interesting than ALT1, and I think that adding that would be difficult to do smoothly. Perhaps ALT0 could be revised to say "Despite the process of fracking being banned ...?" AviationFreak💬 19:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AviationFreak: No problem. I have no problem with a revised ALT0 (... that despite the process of fracking being banned in the state, Maryland officials support the Eastern Shore Pipeline, which carries fracked gas?). Epicgenius (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
