EPA or WTF?

The EPA deserves another acronym: WTF. The Fiscal Times reports: "...the EPA says tests it conducted in Pavillion, Wyoming, “indicate that ground water in the aquifer contains compounds likely associated with gas production practices, including hydraulic fracturing.” However, it turns out that the EPA drilled two monitoring wells to some 900 feet – much deeper than water wells which are usually at about 300 feet – and indeed found hydrocarbons. In short, they drilled into the natural gas reservoir that has long attracted industry producers. It may the single most productive moment in EPA history." Read it all.
