Big oil's disregard for common sense and the common good is sometimes deploreable. Contamination of land and water resources creating serious health and environmental problems should not be permitted.

Industry Defends Federal Loophole for Drilling Before Packed Congressional Hearing
http://www.propublica.org/feature/industry-defends-federal-loophole-for-drilling-before-hearing-605
"In the hearing, industry-affiliated groups and an executive of Chesapeake Energy told the committee (PDF) that state regulations of hydraulic fracturing are sufficient and effective and insisted that the fracturing process and the chemicals it uses are safe. They said regulating the process under the Safe Drinking Water Act would add a needless layer of regulation that would cost billions of dollars and thousands of jobs."
So Aubrey, jobs are more important than safe drinking water? What a pig....his pay is more important than his stockholders and his ethics are questionable at best...
