Colo., NY reps want regulation of gas 'fracking'

I had no idea they'd do this to get to more oil or gas ... and while I'm certainly not a geologist, it doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. In fact, it sounds remarkably like the old "the ocean's so big we can't hurt it no matter what we do" argument for offshore dumping.

AP - The push to put a widely used oil and gas drilling process under federal oversight could gain ground with a new administration in place and concerns about the development of huge gas fields in the East.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
