ef...I thought you would like to see this after your post on Fracking. __ Part 1 "Hydraulic fracturing has been used commercially since 1949, and there have been no known cases of drinking water contamination. In Oklahoma, the practice is already regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the state agency that oversees the oil and natural gas industry. Similar agencies oversee hydraulic fracturing in other energy-producing states, and these state entities can respond more quickly than any federal agency to issues that require immediate regulatory attention."

Part 2 "The best scenario is the same scenario the EPA found in 2004, when the federal agency found no evidence fracking threatens drinking water. Just one week ago, Steve Heare, director of EPA’s Drinking Water Protection Division, said he hadn’t seen any documented cases that hydraulic fracturing contaminated water supplies. Hydraulic fracturing is a safe, well-regulated practice that is the key to increased natural gas production in America and a healthy energy economy in Oklahoma."
