Finally! Some lawmakers in Congress are calling out natural gas companies for violating the Clean Water Act by fracking up innocent people's drinking water.
The EPA isn't going to officially rule on fracking's safety until 2012, but technically the natural gas companies (like Halliburton - so obvs evil!) were supposed to wait until the EPA ruled on it before they drilled in drinking water areas (the EPA needed to issue them permits, and they couldn't issue permits until studies had been done). The companies didn't wait, which means they broke the law, and finally someone is paying attention.
Let's keep fracking in the news, everyone! Fight the frackers! If we shout loudly enough, we might just get heard over the sound of exploding water.
