    Obama’s Energy Secretary To British News: ‘We’re Not Seeing Fracking Compromising Fresh Water’ (The Daily Caller

    Environmentalist objections to hydraulic fracturing aren’t backed by science, U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz told the U.K.’s Channel 4 News.

    Moniz said natural gas could have “tremendous economic benefits” for the U.K., and that natural gas use has “been a major contributor to our reduction in CO2 [carbon dioxide] emissions.”

    He said it’s not possible for the fracking process to contaminate drinking water the way environmentalists often claim.
