Duh! Of course fracking can contaminate drinking water, if it isn't properly managed? Isn't that why they spent 5 or 6 years and many millions of dollars to do the study. The point is that after all of that effort they did not find many contamination examples. Fracking has been used in some form since the 1940's. The regulatory system works. So what is all of the fuss about? EPA could not politically take credit for its own (and states) regulatory programs under the 1974 Underground Injection Control programs. Isn't politics wonderful when it messes with science and fact?
