In one report EPA said that there was never any contamination from fracking. Now this. EPA needs to come clean on this issue or they will look stupid and inept.

I don't trust the EPA any further than I can spit; and I can't spit very far.

Seems the EPA has no continuity on its testing making it hard to almost impossible to believe as credible.
But hey its the EPA....

If the ground water exhibited chemicals that it didn't before the fracking too place, then it's caused by fracking.

Well, if the EPA would be right more often, we might then believe them. But as we know the EPA has gotten it wrong more than getting it right.

The problem is that most have no confidence in the Fed's to get it right.
Whatever the conclusion it will be disputed until somebody can provide
proof of their claims for good or ill.

They note geology and hydrology differ from state to state and within each state, and therefore, they say, a national one-size-fits-all regulatory structure would do more harm than good.
This is probably the most true statement in the entire article. I think the federal government needs to step aside & let local specialists make decisions for their local areas. If fracking doesn't cause problems in one place then go to town. But if it is causing problems in another area then they need to take another look at that area, not every area.

From article:......The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is fending off criticism after issuing a draft report claiming it has found chemicals consistent with hydraulic fracturing in groundwater in Wyoming. Non-EPA analysts have criticized the agency for exercising poor quality control of its water samples, overlooking that many activities other than hydraulic fracturing could be the source of the common chemicals reported by EPA, and ignoring evidence several water tests closer to hydraulic fracturing sites than EPA’s disputed samples reveal no chemical contamination.
From article:.....“EPA’s Wyoming water study is not really about water or public health. The agenda-driven conclusions are part of the Obama administration’s unscientific anti-fossil fuel campaign,”
Time to get rid of the EPA.... lots of tax money spent on nothing but justifying jobs because of greenie interjections!!!

From the article- “If the current administration can ban the use of fracking for oil and gas extraction, they will deliver a near-fatal blow to the domestic energy boom sweeping across those areas of the country where shale gas and oil are abundant,” said Noon. “The shale revolution has been made possible by geology and advances in technology, especially hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. As a result, natural gas prices in the United States are falling, threatening the viability of taxpayer-subsidized wind and solar power.”
And that folks is the truth behind the hyperbole, insinuation and outright lies thrown out from the anti fossil fuel crowd. And this all stems from the global warming hoax.
