Letter Sent to 10 Companies Regarding Disclosure of Fracking
Letters sent by the House Committee on Energy & Commerce.
http://energycommerce.house.gov/documents/20100719/Letters.Hydrauli...
"The Subcommittee on Energy and Environment is examining the practice of hydraulic
fracturing and its potential impacts on human health and the environment. We request your
cooperation in this investigation,
Since February, the Subcommittee has sent letters to 14 oil and gas well service
companies requesting information on their hydraulic fracturing practices, In their responses, these companies identified well operators, rather than well service companies, as the entities most likely to maintain data on the proximity of specific wells to underground sources of drinking water. Similarly, the well service companies directed us to the well operators, such as your company, for information on the recovery and disposal of fluids and water that flow back to the surface of wells that have been hydraulically fractured,"
My apologies for the hodge-podge cut & paste, tried to edit it but am having no success.

Politics and science often do not mix. Closed door meetings between executive branch and oil industry and a flurry of executive orders which effectively undermined powers and independence of oversight agencies, including EPA, led to the passage of the Energy Act of 2005. That act was criticized hotly for the foregoing reasons. In 2008, a group of concerned scientists conducted a study and uploaded is their report, entitled "Interference At the EPA: Science and Politics At the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
The results of the survey of resident EPA scientists is significant. Gov. Christina Todd Whitman, who was the EPA Administrator under Bush until she resigned in 2003, revealed she resigned because of executive branch interference and its weakening of EPA regulations. - Attachments:
