Why Is the EPA Putting Poison in America's Water?
According to Senator James Inhofe, the EPA, at Barack Obama's bidding, has finally released a draft report on some wells in Wyoming that is obviously full of lies. For one thing, he stingingly calls the draft report "a draft." Oooh, burn! It's hard to believe the EPA has the chutzpah to disguise what is a clearly labeled draft report as a draft! It's also "political science," and, according to the local fracking companies, the EPA introduced chemicals into the local water that are the same chemicals that fracking utilizes. Do you see how sneaky the EPA is? They figure out what's in the secret fracking cocktail, and then spread that stuff around and make U.S. citizens drink it. It's the perfect plan. Anyway, there's no motivation for the fracking companies to lie or to play political science, as we know, so I guess we just have to dismantle those crooks at the EPA.
Farm dust! FARM DUST! We must also stop the EPA from issuing a ban it insists it has no plans to issue!!! IT'S JUST DUST!

Pretty sure those are the ingredients in my hair gel and it tastes fine.
Suggested headline: "Phenol, benzoic acid, and acetate levels in Wyoming wells plummet despite fracking, says EPA report"
makes me want cram shrooms in all my orifices.
I could use a fracking cocktail right now.
Inhofe is such a shameless, broken, misfit toy. Junk him.
So did the EPA finally get permission to test fracking sites and act on data, or is all this for show? They're not allowed to test within a certain distance of sites, which then allows gas companies to claim reasonable doubt as to the source of contamination. Depending on where things lie, the readings could be interpreted as so circumstantial as to be inconclusive.
Fracking was the only express regulatory exemption written into the Clean Water Act. One of the more darkly comical bits of open industry influence on federal legislation in the last while.
