Why shale producers are happy with this EPA fracking study

EPA Fracking studyThe energy industry agrees with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — at least when it comes to the findings of an EPA study on hydraulic fracturing.

Michael Krancer, partner and chair of the energy industry team at law firm Blank Rome LLP, said a draft report on the EPA study shows that fracking is “safe,” with “no widespread issues.”

Here’s what the EPA draft report released last week officially says: “There are above- and below-ground mechanisms by which hydraulic fracturing activities have the potential to impact drinking water resources.”

But the EPA did “not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States.”

TVNL Comment:  Imagine that the automobile industry concluded that the defective airbags installed in millions of cars nationwide 'had the potential to impact' the lives of some drivers, but there were no 'widespread' issues.  Heck, some impact on the lives of those near the fracking wells is irrelevant.  Go, frackers.
