EPA Administrator Confirms: No fracking water contamination

At a U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, President Barack Obama’s EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, admitted the environmental risk of hydraulic fracturing is practically nonexistent.

“I’m not aware of any proven case where the fracking process itself has affected water, although there are investigations ongoing,” she said.

Domestic proved reserves of oil and natural gas increased significantly in 2009. U.S. natural gas proved reserves estimated as "wet" gas which includes natural gas plant liquids - increased by 11 percent in 2009 to 284 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). This is their highest level since 1971.

Fracking appears to be an economically viable method for extracting energy, therefore it must harm the environment.  /lefty mode

It also accounts for the increase in natural gas reserves over last year, which is why we need to do it.
