EPA Presentation on Shale Gas Extraction
August 5, 2010 presentation
EPA to study hydraulic fracturing, again. This time (hopefully) with science.
Yesterday, the U.S. EPA announced that they will spend more than $1.9 million to study the impacts of hydraulic fracturing on water quality and public health. EPA did a similar study in 2004 which concluded not only that fracking constitutes no risk to drinking water, but that no further study of the issue should be conducted. A march 19, 2010 press release from Earthworks.
