Reuters provides a very, very superficial look at the new rules for fracking on federal lands. About the only information:
The rules require energy companies to reinforce boreholes and otherwise prevent leakage and provide data on the cocktail of chemicals that helps extract crude oil and gas out of the ground. The rules will add transparency to the practice, long shrouded by companies reluctant to reveal "trade secrets."Most companies are providing data regarding the "cocktails."
New York State, of course, will still ban fracking while they study the issue for another 14 years.
