I’m willing to bet that Bob Casey actually has the lowest IQ of any sitting senator.

Gas and oil production, economics, freedom; there’s all manner of subjects that politicians in general, and democrats in particular, do not understand but have no problem passing laws.

Probable motivation is the absence of an offer of off shore cash to the Congress Critter.

There's another angle to this that hasn't gotten much attention when it comes to Marcellus Shale.
One reason why Pennsylvania has become the primary location for gas extraction for the Marcellus Shale formation is that neighboring New York has prohibited gas extraction in much of the region. This is because of the sensitivity of the protected areas of the Catskill Mountains where the reservoirs that make up New York City's water supply are located.

Casey is an ass. Fracking has been occurring in PA since I was sitting in my Dads’s truck while he blew wells and taught me about demolitions. Casey, and his father, and brothers have never had jobs. He only feeds off information from whatever asshole tells him this crap. By the way, fracking started 52 years ago.

His mind is made up. Stop confusing him with facts.
It's how he *feels* that's important.
Thinking is for right-wing extremists.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Fracking is done thousands of feet below the ground water levelSurely not. Why, it's millions of degrees down there!

Casey is an empty suit. He got where he is today on his father’s name.

...which is probably why there isn't a single proven example of ground water contamination caused by fracking. the flaw in the logic here is that it subsumes that democrats actually give a rip about the truth. A quick review of democrat leaders will easily reveal that is a fallacy.

True.
But how did Casey's Dad get where he got? He was an empty suit, too.

Educated or not, read for yourselves...
A child would tell you not to put water at risk, I’d say starting at 5 or 6 years old.
Why is it that people intelligent enough to invent fracturing aren’t intelligent enough to admit the risks, or when they’ve clearly contaminated wells. What’s in that void of otherwise intelligent capable people, could it be...greed?
The single biggest, most concentrated, irreversible threat to clean water ever created has and exemption to the Clean Air and Water Act.

Forget your agendas, your politics, your fancy slogans, it’s water, don’t put it at risk.
