EPA Implicates Fracking

For the first time, the EPA has implicated that fracking may be to blame for causing groundwater pollution. The news, which was released on 12/8/11, involves a small community in central Wyoming where residents are complaining about water wells reeking of chemicals. Further, these findings were specific to this community and it was noted that the fracking occurred below the drinking water aquifer and close to water wells. The EPA emphasized that this was a highly isolated event but in my opinion, the media will spin any incidence that involves fracking.

I agree with you.
