Oh, look! NPR says “EPA Finds No Widespread Drinking Water Pollution From Fracking”! Politico reports “EPA: Fracking’s no big threat to water”! And wingnut Washington Times declares “EPA: Fracking doesn’t harm drinking water”!
But is that what the EPA really said in their new draft assessment of the known effects of oil and gas hydraulic fracturing on drinking water? Earthworks Action’s Lauren Pagel joined me on today’s BradCast to try and help set the record straight. Wish us luck.

“Long-Awaited EPA Study Says Fracking Pollutes Drinking Water”
“EPA: Fracking doesn’t harm drinking water”
Lots of degrees from the University of The Coin Toss it would seem.
You think no one can top EPA lite?
Think again.
The Pogo invasion of CA is complete:
(What Next, Mass Depraved-Heart Murder?). I am feeling like the democrats have been infiltrated.
