What The Frack?

The EPA is ratcheting up its focus (attack) on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", arguably the single most important energy technology to emerge in decades. Without fracking, we as a nation, would be deprived of massive amounts of clean, domestic, affordable energy that would create tens of thousands of jobs and reduce our reliance on oil from Hugo Chavez, King Abdullah and Vlad Putin. Larry Kudlow had a segment on it last night. I wish Kilduff had mentioned that we've been fracking for many years now and it is only just now that the hyper-aggressive, anti-hydrocarbon EPA under the Obama administration is interested in the technical details. In fact, I guarantee that the EPA already knows what these chemicals are, but they are looking to bring this info into the public discourse to scare people with stories of horrible sounding chemicals being injected into the ground. It is no exaggeration to say that a war on fracking is a war on your kids' future standard of living - or rather, just another front in that war.
