Push for the use of Sound Science
If we, they, don't get it right here, then we all lose, even the oft' misguided, misinformed, Fractivist.
U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) today sent a letter to Cass Sunstein, the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of Management and Budget, urging the Administration to ensure that EPA complies with legal standards of scientific integrity as it finalizes a new report on ground water contamination in Pavillion, Wyoming. OIRA is responsible for policing the quality of agency science.
...Because the results of the study could have major implications on the natural gas industry and on state and federal regulations, the Senators are calling on OIRA to designate EPA’s report as a “highly influential scientific assessment” which will require a more thorough and transparent peer review process. “A false-positive link between fracturing and groundwater contamination could form the basis for costly new regulation that will do little to protect human health,” they said.
