First we have a president who wants to cause energy prices to skyrocket<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4> and bankrupt the coal industry <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ>. He is making both happen with his illegal drilling moratorium<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2010/07/13/after-being-defeated-twice-in-federal-court-obama-administration-orders-a-3rd-moratorium/>and with his E.P.A., led by Lisa Jackson, revoking a coal mining permit<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/the-obama-administration-causing-energy-prices-to-skyrocket-obamas-epa-revoked-coal-mining-permit/> that was already issue. Now the Democrats are using a New York Times article, which mysteriously got their information from the same Lisa Jackson-led E.P.A. The same E.P.A. that claims exhaling (CO2) is a pollutant. Conveinient huh? >From The >Hill<http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/146295-dems-seek-epa-gas-controls-on-heels-of-expose> : *A top House Democrat is urging EPA to quickly toughen regulation of natural gas drilling *following a *New York Times report*<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/27/us/27gas.html?_r=1&ref=global-home&pagewanted=all>on the discharge of dangerous pollutants into rivers that supply drinking water. The *Times* – *citing internal documents from EPA and elsewhere *– claims that chemicals and radioactive elements in wastewater from gas projects are creating “dangers to the environment and health [that] are greater than previously understood.” Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) sent EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson a detailed * letter* <http://thehill.com/images/stories/blogs/energy/markeyepa.pdf>Saturday calling for *“immediate action.” * “I am outraged that state and federal regulators were evidently well aware of the risks that the wastewater might pose, but instead chose to adopt a ‘see no evil, hear no evil’ approach to regulation by ignoring them,” writes Markey, the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee. Markey is the same libtard pushing the 'cap-and-trade' scheme in Congress with his rat-faced cohort Henry Waxman (D-Ca.). This involves corporations paying 'carbon taxes' that allows them to pollute. The 3,800-word* Times* story is on the front page Sunday and was published online Saturday. It notes that a common drilling method hydraulic fracturing produces large volumes of wastewater that’s *naturally laced with carcinogens including benzene and radioactive elements including radium*, and that chemicals used in the drilling process can add other carcinogens. Naturally laced? Hmm. Another 'crisis' for the Democrats to use to take control of another industry and drive up energy costs. Why didn't the E.P.A. just release their own report to Congress if this is true instead of going to a liberal rag? Democrats have a problem with using information gathered from liberal media outlets.
