Two important pieces that need to change ...
- 2005 Energy Policy Act prohibited the regulation of fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
- Energy companies are allowed to keep the names of the chemicals they use for fracturing secret
Essentially, fracking & fracking alone can freely pollute drinking water and not be subject to any regulation on that.
