Ain't it great to have an environmentally conscious President? Feds Approve More Fracking

74. True, that.

Just three DUers. And, likely some other DUers will read this exchange, and agree with you -- after all, what the heck do three DUers know?

But a few will get the humor here. They'll recognize one of them three, perhaps from an essay Will Pitt authored a couple years back, or perhaps from some photos & news stories that just some DUer posted here. And they'll think, "Dang! 1StrongBlackMan don't know exactly who he is chatting with. That's the guy who has, among many other things, worked with EPA and DoJ lawyers on one of the biggest legal cases per toxic wastes in the past 15 years; who works with the attorneys from the top environmental protection organization, and top environmental law clinic, in the US of A; and who communicates with the hard-working, but frustrated honest employees at the EPA quite often."

DU is a curious place. There are some clowns here, lots of good people, and a few very serious individuals. Some folks know that, others don't.

The EPA's final permit guidance is very weak. I appreciate that you support this president. That's fine. However, this is an area where I feel confident you are rather unfamiliar. If it is important to you, take some time and do a bit of research. The EPA is like any other large bureaucratic agency: good people at most levels, corporate advocates-politicians at the top. Let's try a little test: what was the first EPA report on fracking requested by the House? What happened to the sections on the toxins used to frack? What Congressman tried, without success, to get the original report? And which mere DUer has a copy?

Peace, my friend,
