LinkYesterday,
Elizabeth Ames Jones, Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission, testified with other experts and the Environmental Protection Agency at the US House Committee on Science, Space and Technology’s hearing regarding hydraulic fracturing.
Jones stated,
“It is morally wrong to deprive Americans the benefit of their God-given natural energy resources because a few special interest Grimm Brothers insist on perpetuating fairy tales.”In light of the many activists’ allegations that hydraulic fracturing is polluting our water, Jones said,
“it is geologically impossible for fracturing fluid or natural gas or oil to migrate upward through thousands of feet of rock, sometimes miles, to affect the water table.”Jones declared,
“you have a better chance of hitting the moon with a roman candle than fracturing into fresh water zones by hydraulic fracturing shale rock.”
