According to Mr O'Dowd, the EPA is relying on "a desktop study being carried out by the University of Aberdeen"? Yes that makes perfect sense. When looking for an unbiased assessment of a practice that is considered by so many impartial experts to be detrimental to the environment and human health, where better to seek advice than at a university funded by oil and gas giant Halliburton, which also happens to be the pioneer of the very practice in question. As a matter of fact, it was a former CEO of Halliburton, Dick Cheny, who introduced legislation that exempted fracking from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act and allowed industry to pillage rural America. So the question is, how can Mr O'Dowd place any trust in the University of Aberdeen while it nestles snuggly in Halliburton's pocket? Something stinks here and it's a familiar stench!
