EPA Scientists Call Foul on Fracking Study, Say Findings ‘Inconsistent With Data Presented’ January 2016
http://ecowatch.com/2016/01/08/epa-call-foul-fracking-study/
“There was a clear disconnect between the EPA’s top-line spin—that there was no evidence of ‘widespread, systemic’ impacts on drinking water from fracking—and the content of the actual study, which highlights data limitations, open questions, and clear evidence of local and severe impacts,” Hauter said. “This disconnect raises serious questions about political tampering with scientific conclusions in the release of the draft study.”

Agreed. As usual, the EPA does not even mention increased risks of exposure to ionizing radiation for the US public from the fracking process, such as increased transport of a number of radioisotopes into public water supplies and addition of different kinds of hot particles into public water supplies.

Quakes Giving Dutch Province 'A Makeover We Don't Want'
The quakes have led to nearly 80,000 damage claims by residents here, prompted a court to order a criminal investigation into the Shell-Exxon joint venture, and led to government limits on gas production to which the companies object.
The Challenges Posed by Induced Seismicity
In the Castor Project (an underground gas storage facility located off the coast of the Valencia Gulf)case in Spain, public concerns pushed the Spanish government to definitively close the project and open an investigation. About 20 people who took part in the transaction and approval of the Castor Project have since been indicted.

How a Small Town Is Standing Up to Fracking
Grant Township, PA
With the help of outside advocates, the small community landed upon a radical strategy: It adopted an ordinance that granted residents the right to local self-government, essentially seizing the power to bypass the EPA. According to the new laws of their renegade township, not only could humans defend themselves against PGE, but so too could the streams, the salamanders, the hemlock trees, the very soil underground. As outrageous as it might seem, the move thrust Grant Township onto the front line of a new environmental movement: It's the battle to grant legal rights to nature. And amazingly, it appears to be working.
