“Today's executive order is a solid first step toward coordinating and, we hope, improving federal oversight of hydraulic fracturing,” said John Engler, the business group’s president.
“Business Roundtable CEOs recently discussed with the President how federal handling of this technology threatened to become burdensome, with overlapping authorities and unnecessary and duplicative rules. We hope this working group can cut through these complications and ultimately encourage further investment in the energy sector,” added Engler, who is a former governor of Michigan.

Quote:
The order sets up a task force to “facilitate coordinated Administration policy efforts to support safe and responsible unconventional domestic natural gas development.”
Which part of that sentence do you disagree with? Or better yet, which part of that sentence do you believe lies outside current law/executive branch power?
