EPA risks a crisis of confidence in its dedication to protecting drinking water from fracking risks | Amy Mall's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

Several water contamination issues that have been posted on this blog in past weeks concerning "fracking" or fracking fluid dumping in Kern County, CA; and the Keystone XL Pipeline analysis are still "on-going".  As such, I have decided to provide their various links for your perusal today; as well as two addtional links from the RT.com and the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) regarding a recent decision on a Fracking study made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
