Wyoming Shenanigans -- Update; EPA Closes The Books On This One

The Wall Street Journal is reporting:

The Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday that it would drop an investigation that had linked contaminated water to natural-gas drilling in Wyoming, in a boost for Encana Corp. and other firms that practice the drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing.

The EPA will allow the state of Wyoming to continue the investigation but doesn't "plan to rely upon the conclusions" of its previous study, the state and the agency said in a joint statement.

Wyoming to take lead in study of Pavillion-area groundwater pollution, as US EPA backs away from linking it to fracking.
