Those of you in the oil and gas industry are no doubt familiar with EPA’s claim that fracking is a potential source of ground-water contamination, and that a moratorium on the use of fracking should be enacted until the EPA can study it to death. (Note: For lay people, hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is a technique used to increase oil and gas yields in petroleum-bearing formations. It involves injecting high-pressure fluids into the formation to increase its transmissive properties.)
This step — one the EPA has been hinting about for months — will be another nail in the energy industry’s coffin if its representatives do not step up and oppose this utterly unwarranted accusation.
Will you rise to the challenge?
