“He may leave this alone as West Texas has far less population that NY and PA, so fracking and potential water damage would be less likely.”

While the pollution problems associated with fracking would impact less people in West Texas, President Obama’s greater concern is about climate change. Because continued dependence on fossil fuels will delay the transition to alternative fuels, I think the EPA will still kill fracking.

How much gas is likely to be recovered versus how much oil. Gas as fuel is a lot less air polluting, so the ratio might affect decisions. Also, the Canadian tar sands oil production is far more polluting that underground oil shale.

What pollution problems associated with fracking? Some drilling mud which is already required to be processed and disposed of properly?

The alleged subsurface problems are about 99% bulls***...

Climate change is BS... most people who are clear thinkers and not brainwashed by propoganda know this.

Also, most clear thinking people are ok with current fuels, as alternative fuels dont really exist or work well in the marketplace...

Except that oil, unlike coal is not a fossil fuel. It is created by the decomposition of rocks in the earth’s mantle.
