They’ve got one controversial case here so far.
If there is a small risk that fracking, which is typically done deep underground, can let oil get into shallow aquifers being used to supply drinking wells, a more practical approach than banning it would be to pipe fresh water into impacted areas. But with just one case out of thousands of fracking sites nationwide, it’s hard to blame the fracking for it.
Each one of these “studies” and infringements by the federal government allows “the camel” more and more control and ownership rights to our “tent.”
This administration is determined to stop any private-sector job creation.
They block the Keystone XL pipeline and are trying to block hydraulic fracturing, the two largest drivers of employment in this country today.
There are no cases of hydraulic fracturing contaminating aquifers, except through surface spills (which happens every day when a tanker truck flips over).
