Whistleblower: EPA Scientists Paid Off To Conceal Toxic Fracking Emissions

14 June 2016

 - An explosive new federal complaint finally sheds some light on the great mystery of why exactly the EPA, which is tasked with protecting the environment, inexplicably sits back and allows the fracking industry to destroy the earth.

According to the environmental watchdog group NC WARN based out of North Carolina, the data regarding toxic emissions from fracking has been the subject of a long-term and systematic cover-up that involved payoffs from the gas and oil industry to at least one researcher for the EPA.

According to a federal complaint filed by the group with the Inspector General of the EPA, “there has been a persistent and deliberate cover-up that has prevented the agency from requiring the natural gas industry to make widespread, urgently needed and achievable reductions in methane venting and leakage (‘emissions’) across the nation’s expanding natural gas infrastructure.”
