Lots of lies have been told by environmental activists determined to rob us of cheap energy. Now even the US EPA is calling foul.

From Andrew Bolt:

Yet another costly green scare debunked:

The Environmental Protection Agency’s long-awaited report on fracking dismayed liberal green groups Thursday while pleasing the oil and gas industry — the latest episode in both sides’ fraught relationship with President Barack Obama.

The study, more than four years in the making, said the EPA has found no signs of “widespread, systemic” drinking water pollution from hydraulic fracturing. That conclusion dramatically runs afoul of one of the great green crusades of the past half-decade, which has portrayed the oil- and gas-extraction technique as a creator of fouled drinking water wells and flame-shooting faucets.

When will Victoria end its senseless ban on fracking, one even crazier than its earlier ban on GM crops? When will NSW loosen its own restrictions on a technology that can give us relatively cheap energy?
