The Department of the Interior intends to repeal an Obama-era rule designed to prevent fracking companies operating on public lands from polluting water supplies.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on Monday submitted a proposed revocation to the Federal Register to wipe from the books a rule that required fracking operators on public lands to disclose chemicals used in fracking and to ensure certain precautions are taken around clean water sources.
...
In its explanation for revoking the rule, BLM says that many states now require fracking operators to disclose the chemical compounds in fracking fluid. “There is no need for a federal chemical disclosure requirement, since companies are already making those disclosures on most of the operations, either to comply with state law or voluntarily,” the agency says.
...

yeah, we believe you.

Whenever I hear "fracking" I swear to God, I always see the opening of the Fraggle Rock show in my head. No idea why.

I have mixed feelings about this. What I mean is if the areas approved for fracking are far from civilization and the underground aquifer is not going to be threated in populated areas ... Then I am OK for fracking in remote wastelands.

Not within 500 miles of a lake, reservoir, river, coastal area, national or state park. So, Bumfuck, Montana sounds OK where they wear red MAGA hats and drive pick-em-up trucks. AKA The Red-Neck Badlands.

I lived in North Carolina for 2 years after I moved back to the U.S. from Australia. North Carolina is 100% Gerrymandered and controlled by Republicans. They started fracking a few miles from us and people with wells started having funny tasting water, then it turns out they could light their faucets with a match! the fracking was releasing gas into the aquaphor. The state and local government didn't do shit and acted like people were lucky to have the fracking jobs and we should be thankful. This is why the feds had to jump in and stop it. Now Trump is gonna let this shit start again.

What is the point of this? The United States is now the largest producer of oil in the world. We have an oil surplus. There is no reason to allow to private companies to be drilling on public land. This is damaging to our public land and serves no purpose.

So this is what winning looks like?
