A top House Democrat is urging EPA to quickly toughen regulation of natural gas drilling following a New York Times report on the discharge of dangerous pollutants into rivers that supply drinking water.
The Times – citing internal documents from EPA and elsewhere – claims that chemicals and radioactive elements in wastewater from gas projects are creating “dangers to the environment and health [that] are greater than previously understood.”
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) sent EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson a detailed letter Saturday calling for “immediate action.”
“I am outraged that state and federal regulators were evidently well aware of the risks that the wastewater might pose, but instead chose to adopt a ‘see no evil, hear no evil’ approach to regulation by ignoring them,” writes Markey, the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee.

I’m a sand can driver for the frac industry ... this article is pure ee fried bullshit.
One foolproof method of judging a lie is to check whether or not a dim-bulb-crat is saying it.
IF dim-bulb-crat, THEN lie.
Simple, isn’t it?
Well, so are dim-bulb-crats.
PING
You’re aiding in the rape of mother earth with sand. LOL
I smell another “crisis” coming!!! Look out!
They had a clip of it on the DOC channel last night. A guy put a cigarette lighter to the sink faucet, it caught on fire. I am sure the left had something to do with this “exposé”? I do not trust a thing they tell me anymore. Is the US the only country to have this “discharge of dangerous pollutants into rivers that supply drinking water?”
Why all of a sudden is it a problem????? Oh yeah socialist have taken over.
where are they going to eventually find any $$ to tax after they destroy the economy?
Pray for America
*shrug* Well, when someone told him to go pound sand, he did...
Ed Markey's expertise with gas and oil stem from his last private sector job as an ice cream truck driver in Malden.
I recall the former Amoco drilling in Iowa’s Forest City Basin. Down more than a mile, they found “leaverite.”
And the destruction of the United States by the RAT party, the unions, and the President continues apace.
Next cold snap, turn off gas supplies to Markey’s
home and office. Let him live with the shortage
his asinine remarks will cause.
