EPA backs away from unfounded fracking allegations

Dear Self-Reliant Thinker,
 
Science or Politics?
Fracking has been painted as the bad guy in the energy debates occurring on Obama's watch. That's despite the cheap power it provides for households, the independence it provides against mega-oil producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia, and the massive amount of income it generates for participating states, workers and the nation.
As the Saudis and OPEC colluded to drive the U.S. oil and natural gas industry out of business, the ever-resourceful drilling industry responded by becoming more and more efficient. OPEC thought they could drive the U.S. out of the oil business. They were very wrong. 
Right now, in some Texan oilfields producers can drill oil for around $2 a barrel. Game over. We won. OPEC blinked and cut back on production to stabilize their prices.  


While the free market has been doing its part to help the economy, Obama's EPA has fought fracking at every step, including a five-year, $29 million Environmental Protection Agency study into water purity. 
Read about it yourself to see if it was worth it!
