Denton, TX instituted a fracking ban within its city limits.  Denton is in the heart of Texas oil country.  The oil industry aligned with ALEC, and the Texas legislature stripped its municipalities of the right to ban fracking within their own limits.

I don't think they will stop with mere success in Texas, a place where folks are oilier than thou.
