The Obama administration on Wednesday decried a ruling by a federal judge that blocks rules for hydraulic fracturing, saying the decision prevents regulators from using 21st-century standards to ensure that oil and gas operations are conducted safely on public lands.
Jessica Kershaw, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department, said modernized fracking requirements imposed by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell reflect best industry practices and are aimed at ensuring adequate well control, preventing groundwater contamination and increasing transparency about the materials used in fracking.
Kershaws comments came after a judge in Wyoming ruled late Tuesday that federal regulators lack authority to set rules for hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl deals another setback to the Obama administrations efforts to tighten how fossil fuels are mined.

FUBO. We want our own energy, Punk.
Had it been a gay energy ruling the White Hut would be applauding.
I didn’t know the Head of Interior was an expert on hydraulic fracking.
loser
She is a typical government bureaucrat pinhead who doesn’t know a thing about oil, energy, business, capitalism or anything else of value. I’m sure she is an expert on communism however.
And he should be required to purchase non-fracked natural gas and petroleum.
POS can’t stand THE FACT...TRUMP is on the front page...for 8 years the juvenile has gotten ALL and

Decisions and actions...
Polling must have shown that American voters want energy self-sufficiency.
The Hard Left editors at Associate Press then hand a political softball to Obama and the Democrats.
The Activist Judge is portrayed as “extreme.”
Obama and the Dems, who actually agree with shutting down the oil industry, are portrayed as reasonable moderates who just want carefully regulated fracking.
Obastard doesn’t want ANY oil and gas operations.
“that federal regulators lack authority to set rules for hydraulic fracturing...”
Fascist federal regulators have NO authority to write law. Only legislators may write law. Period. Exclamation point.
all wee weed up
Expert in Communism? Here is a real expert in Communism:

Total BS by this bunch of bureaucrats.
A year or two ago, Andrea Tantaros on The Five drank a large wine goblet of the fracking fluid to demonstrate it was not hazardous.
