Look at New York St. A big chunk of the Marcellas (sp)shale "play" is in that state. What does the governor do? He bans fracking in the state!
“What does the governor do? He bans fracking in the state!”
I think the EPA is working hard to promote fracking as environmentally unsafe. If it’s not global warming, CO2 levels, or dirty coal, they will always find something to criticize and and confuse the general public. They need to abolish this federal entity and leave regulation to the states.
Texas has their own regulatory agencies for the oil and gas industry, they don’t need the EPA.
