    Sure. Took me less than 3 seconds. Just highlight the question, right click it, and select, google search. How come Conservatives do this easily and "progressives" helplessly ask others to search for them? And how come you snipped out the link and then claimed I didn't include it?

    Bery odd!

    From a Duke report on the findings:

    The tests showed that methane and saline groundwater were present in both pre-drilling and post-drilling well water samples, but that they had a chemistry that was subtly but distinctly different from the isotropic fingerprints of methane and salts contained in fracking fluids and shale gas. This indicated that they occurred naturally in the region’s shallow aquifers and were not the result of the recent shale gas operations.

    This is not the first such finding, a similar two-year study in Wyoming which found no evidence of contamination of groundwater by fracking. In that case, evidence suggested a problem which created a bad smell was likely caused by the EPA itself.

    The EPA has quite a history of polluting waterways:

    EPA Leadership Should Face Criminal Charges

    "When a cow passes gas, the EPA declares war, but when the
    EPA "accidentally" dumps 3 million gallons of toxic sludge into a
    U.S. river, the agency seems to think an apology will suffice. . . .
    It seems the one thing the EPA spews faster than regulations
    & toxic sludge is rhetoric." Allyne Caan ~ Who Will Protect
    Against the Protectors? (Patriot Post)
    by Newt Gingrich: For environmental regulators, victories take the form of fines or jail time for the sinners, whose efforts to produce what humans find useful are insufficiently tempered by reverence for “the environment”– an imagined perfection of the world before humans. Those regulators must be tormented this week by the knowledge that in their zeal to defend nature they have turned a Colorado river “an opaque orange color reminiscent of boxed mac and cheese.”

    Inspecting a closed-down gold mine in Colorado, an EPA team accidentally spilled 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater into the Animas River. Now the orange plume extends more than 100 miles downriver and the agency is warning people to stay away.

    “The magnitude of it, you can’t even describe it,” New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez told a television station in her state, which is downstream of the spill. “It’s like when I flew over the fires, your mind sees something it’s not ready or adjusted to see.”

    A normal disaster of this scale would surely result in criminal charges against anybody else. The EPA (and other regulators like the Fish and Wildlife Service) routinely bring criminal charges against individuals or businesses who dump pollutants into the environment or engage in activities that cause harm to wildlife.

    The EPA brought at least 91 criminal prosecutions last year, most for violations with far less impact than the Colorado spill. For instance, when an Ohio man removed 82 garbage bags of insulation containing asbestos from an old factory he was dismantling, he did the removal without properly notifying the local environmental services and “there was not on site a person trained in the provisions of the federal asbestos regulations,” according to the Department of Justice.

    It probably won’t surprise you that the EPA did not take the matter lightly. “The Defendant oversaw the illegal removal of large quantities of asbestos-containing materials, which were ultimately dumped in three residential areas in Toledo,” said the Special Agent in Charge of U.S. EPA’s criminal enforcement program in Ohio. “This case should serve notice that U.S. EPA and its partner agencies are prepared to prosecute those who ‘cut corners’ by avoiding the costs of handling or disposing of asbestos properly.”

    Uhhhh, Flint has been run by Democrats for decades now. Looking back, the last non-Democratic mayor I could find left office in 1991. And before him, you have to go all the way back to 1975 (that was the last actual Republican Mayor of the city).

    So kindly tell us, how a party not even in control of the city managed to do that trick? Got a reference to show how Republican's did it?

    Everything I have read shows that it was caused when the City (once again Democrat run) decided to stop paying for water from Detroit and decided to pump their own water from the Flint River.

    The decision to switch water supplies - to save money - was made by the Flint Emergency Manager, appointed by GOP governor Snyder.

    The plan to switch water supply was made way back in 2007, under Democratic Governor Granholm.

    Oh, and by the way, Darnell Earley is a Democrat. And he was originally appointed to a member of the Michigan Natural Resources Commission by the previously mentioned Governor Granholm.

    Yea, it is entirely his fault he appointed a Democrat who had previously been appointed to positions by other Democrats.

    As the saying goes, "the more you know"...

    If possible to do, then the large population centers would be the targets, I live in the country and have a well. My own private water supply that is located 200 ft beneath the surface...So I personally am not worried.

    The CIA spiked the San Francisco water supply, can't you tell ?

    It's better known as the MK-ULTRA program.

    The results were disastrous resulting in hippies, Black Panthers, San Francisco liberals, Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi...
