Hydraulic Fracturing: EPA Admits Can’t Protect Groundwater with Current Regulations.

May 24, 2009 By TXsharon

EPA Administrator Forecasts Potential Shift on Bush-Era Drilling Loophole
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson

Jackson said she recognized that the current regulations restrict the EPA’s ability to protect groundwater and said the issue “was well worth looking into.” But she didn’t say

…

“Big ships turn slowly,” said Bruce Baizel, an attorney with the Oil and Gas Accountability Project, “but I think this is the first time EPA has acknowledged that maybe their previous conclusions were not entirely supported by sound science.”

And from another article about Jackson’s visit to Wyoming:

“We owe the people of Wyoming, and I have a larger question for the people of the country to make sure we’re looking at hydraulic fracturing to make sure that we’re being as protective as we can to future generations,” she said.

    I’ll take the word of the EPA and the TCEQ any day over the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council! Can you say BIAS.

    最近TVや雑誌で紹介されている家出掲示板では、全国各地のネットカフェ等を泊り歩いている家出娘のメッセージが多数書き込みされています。彼女たちはお金がないので掲示板で知り合った男性の家にでもすぐに泊まりに行くようです。あなたも書き込みに返事を返してみませんか

    Any destruction of ground water by chemical comtamination will incur major costs of treatment for quite possibly one hundred years or more. These costs far outweigh the benefit of producing natural gas for a few pennies less per hundred cubic feet of gas.
