- Dear CAPE, Stop enabling frac’ers! Calling again for yet more study (after decades and many hundreds of studies already) and regulation is synergy, which only aids frac’ers.

Besides, companies just ignore laws and regulations, and regulators break laws and regulations letting them, *and* bully and abuse the frac-harmed, further aiding frac’ers. August 29, 2024
