The Obama administration began a process that may result in the first federal regulation of chemicals used in fracking, a drilling technique that has transformed energy production while eluding oversight sought by environmentalists.

Obama uses more energy for each golf outing than 1 thousand Americans will use in a year. But he wants to reduce in production of the same. He wants the average American to revert to 1800s lifestyle.

Fracking is not a drilling technique.

I'll bet half the country doesn't know that. Here is a Columbus Dispatch article on a drilling rig hitting a gas pocket. The comments after the article blame fracking, which had nothing to do with this. Gas pockets and blowouts have been encountered ever since there was drilling.

The science of inreased production must be supressed. We cannot have the price of energy resourses become depressed. Taxes are based on persentages of value.

Have to keep those values up, supporting foreign interests in energy products.

It could also lead to a disservice to our leaders, such as Hairy Greed.

Fracking to improve oil/gas production has been going on since the 1940's. It's no big deal. Mostly just water and sand.
