My bet is 50/50:

1. Facts don't support it.

2. Natural gas is way too important for the US right now.

We will know in about 10 years.

BTW, is there a print version? Can't read this full article.

Here is an NPR link that is not behind a firewall: http://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2012/03/30/epa-to-range-res...

Sorry, didn't you know that conservatives get a free decoder ring and a lifetime subscription to the WSJ? :-)

My guess is that the facts are probably unassailable which is why the EPA had to back down. Like the 60 Minutes "memo" or a hundred other things of that ilk.

Thanks. It does read like there isn't much evidence there. Still, I had to find that amid a ton of BS. Unfortunately it seems that the EPA is whatever the current administration says that it is.

Neither side of the aisle seems to be very interested in science unless it backs their ideas or agenda.
