1. bush didn't enact any exemptions.
2. the loophole you are referring to (the halliburton loophole) has been addressed with new legislation.
3. thanks for repeating what I stated in my OP, regulations and oversight have not kept up with fracking technology, that's changing (see #2).
4. there are plenty of regulations for fracking. not enough, but there are many already in place
5. no energy extractor is an exemplary conservationist, by nature energy extraction has huge pollution issues. nuclear, petroleum, coal, etc et al. fracking is no worse, read the british scientist's report I linked.
