I think the EPA is full of crap and it's just another hit on the oil, gas and coal industries.
Of some interest.
Is it just me?
If the NYT told me the sun rises in the East, I’d want a second opinion before believing it!
If Waxman and Markey are involved, it is, by logical extension, bad for the country and the citizenry.
It’s pretty evident that if energy technology and exploitation of such is not centered on “green” energy source, the enviro-libtards are against it..........=.=
So, the NY Slimes reporters want to drink water produced from below 5,000 feet? Let’s see, it would be at least 150 deg. F, and contain all sorts of dissolved minerals and salts in concentrations many times that of seawater and including Uranium isotopes in some parts of the country. This naturally occurring water is like the stuff erupting out of geysers in Yellowstone. Industry routinely injects water produced water from mining and oil production operations back into the ground below fresh water aquifers. The EPA actually permits over 500 hazardous material disposal wells in the US that handle foul discharges from Petroleum Refining, Metal Production, Chemical Production, Pharmaceutical Production, Commercial Disposal, Food Production, and Municipal Wastewater Treatment. The fracturing controversy is an effort to shut down all petroleum production in the United States.
OMG, benzene, a terrible carcinogen, run for the hills!
Now I would like to see the NYSlimes run a story explaining how every time you fill your car with gas you are exposed to benzene that is a component of gasoline. Maybe it would keep the libs from using gas and the prices would drop.
The left’s goal appears to be Soviet style living conditions. that is treasonous, IMHO.
Just another communist front attempting to shut down America using the Cloward Piven communist plan. History has taught us that there is only ONE WAY to deal with communists that works... the death of the communist.

Doesn’t hydraulic fracturing, by definition, involve the deadly chemical dihydrogen monoxide? Thank God we have vigilant public servants like Ed Markey and Hank Waxman!
There was a time when even the New York Times would limit itself to reporting only claims made by authoritative sources, but those times are long gone...
Fracking is vile
If they wish to play with locked in methane there is plenty of it in the sea.
Fresh water table ought to be free of playing with.
You could make a fortune, that is, if you knew the formula and the method of injection.
That's all coing to come out in court now. Industrial espionage by environmental activism...
Penn. don’t need no stenkin revenue, Ill. don’t need no stenkin revenue, Calif. don’t need no stenkin revenue, I assumed everyone knew that.
If the New York times and any part of the Obama administration is involved in this report you know
its a lie.
How did the oil they´re seeking not end up in groundwater? It´s been under a hell of a lot more pressure than anything else introduced down there.
Is this from the same pseudo-scientist politicos who require dairies to treat spilled milk as a hazardous substance?
Oh dear, not CHEMICALS!
Whenever I see the word CHEMICALS, especially when used by a responsible unbiased authority like the NYT, I become very afraid.
