This is not being done in the name of protecting resources. This is being done to hamstring the most promising energy development in this country in decades.
Fracking has been done for decades with no reports of groundwater contamination. The chemicals are already known and publishhes, as Thackney has pointed out. The only real concern with fracking is that the leftover fluids get disposed of properly, but Reid's amendment does NOTHING to address that (and it should be a state issue anyway, like much of regulating oil and gas exploration and development).
How is this hamstringing? I’m assuming every company has a list of the fracking chemicals they use. If not, they can spend 20 minutes typing one up. Send the list to the govt and be done with it.
