not to stir anything up, just that i noticed today the EPA released the latest study on fracking if you're interested.

i read some of the executive summary while i pounded lunch. seems like some pretty obvious conclusions, re: waste handling, sealing abandoned wells and the integrity of the machinery. did not see anything conclusive on a definite vertical safe zone between the shallowest point of the well and the deepest part of the groundwater table, other than that its possible to have a well cause a hit to another underground feature up to 8000 feet away, but its rare i guess.
will be interesting to see if this information makes any difference at all consider the new head of the EPA basically wants to let Big Oil bend it over a barrel.
