Fraccing II

Was the EPA able to "prove" that fraccing contaminates ground water? Yes*

*By drilling their own wells down through the ground water layers and into the oil shale layers below and letting the natural gas and drilling compounds bubble up through the water.

In reality, the study conclusively proved no such thing. The research was fundamentally flawed, with the conclusion being derived less from science than from politics.
Trust the government? Not across the street with a burnt match.
