The Hill: Obama has ‘disdain’ for fracking
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) blasted the Obama administration for not being more supportive of hydraulic fracturing and the natural gas boon it has produced for the U.S. economy.
“Despite the president touting his support of natural gas, the administration’s disdain for the method to extract this clean, cheap energy resource shows little interest in actually supporting the growth of this industry,” Inhofe said Thursday.
Inhofe’s comments came after Republicans on the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee released a report that disputed Democrats’ concerns about health risks to water supplies near hydraulic fracturing sites.
