The Associated Press reports:
‘When it comes to natural gas, the president is taking the wrong path,’ Deb Nardone, the head of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Natural Gas program, wrote in a blog post.
Robert Howarth, a Cornell University professor who argues that methane leaks from drilling negate other climate benefits of gas, said in an email to The Associated Press that he is ‘extremely disappointed in the President’s position’ and said the support for natural gas ‘is very likely to do more to aggravate global change than to help solve it.’
I seem to recall that there is no proof of water pollution from fracking.
