Evil fracking. Wait until the EPA finds out what is in their "secret sauce" and starts banning that too.

"Salazar said fracturing is already being done safely “in most cases.” But he defended the rules, saying not moving forward with them could undermine public confidence in unconventional natural-gas production enough to serve as its “Achilles heel.” He also said the American people have a right to have their public lands used in a “responsible way.”

These guys apparently never heard of the saying don't fix it if it aint broke. Salazar says it aint broke but fixing is in order. Idiots.

Too much money involved, Ohio is doing much better economically with all the gas drilling...fracking has been around for 70 years...nothing new about this other than drilling equipment is much more high tech...

One would think it better to establish rational rules now rather than the harsh ones after some idiot screws up and pollutes an important aquifer.

The proposal appears to be of the demonstrate you know what you are doing sort. Should one be drilling if you don't know what you are going to do with the waste water?

No I am pro-fracking for natural Gas and the reason the EPA wants to slow it down is because it has become too cheap ...and we have too much stored up too where we have a glut and share holders/investors are losing money on it...

Only way for them to Re-Coup their money is have the EPA shut it down... thus raising the prices here in North America or we offshore it to the ever hungry for energy East Asian markets...
