The EPA is involved, casting its shadow all the time, every day.
That’s why there’s no activity on federal grounds, because the EPA is baselessly suspicious of the fracking process and is bowing to environmental outcry over allowing it on public grounds.
So far the test cases (the one I know of personally was in Wyoming) have shown fracking to be inconsequential in terms of groundwater, etc.
Still everybody is fearful what might happen in the marxist’s second act.
I don’t believe they will try to stop it; they will make sure they CONTROL it. Too lucrative, too much export potential (eventually).
