U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement responding to reports that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has concluded there is no evidence to indicate fracking has had a widespread impact on drinking water:
"After years of demonization from opponents, the Administration has confirmed what we in Texas have known all along: fracking is a safe and reliable way to take advantage of our vast domestic energy resources.
"But in order to truly harness our energy potential the Obama Administration must get out of the way and let the private sector grow our economy and create jobs, just like we've done in Texas."
