In our view, the decision to move forward in Maryland was made without enough regard for the health hazards identified. No amount of "tweaking regs" can materially improve, for instance, failures with cement casings scrutinized in industry conferences and seminars for 20 years! The fact is industry knows the major problems. What's also clear to us is that there's simply no good evidence this industry, backed by the strongest lobby in America, can be regulated effectively.
Finally, our full disclosure: We think the governor erred in his decision to move forward with fracking, and we endorse legislation to put in place a moratorium, until the scientific evidence shows fracking can be done without jeopardizing the health of families in western Maryland.
Paul Roberts and Annie Bristow
