"Environmentalists say a new report from CNX Resources’ monitoring program, created as part of a collaboration led by Gov. Josh Shapiro, is full of misinformation."
"On Wednesday, the natural gas company CNX Resources released the initial results from its environmental monitoring collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, a partnership predicated on “radical transparency” around fracking operations that Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration announced in November.
CNX’s natural gas development “poses no public health risks,” the company said, and CEO and President Nick Deiuliis said in an accompanying press release that natural gas drilling “done the CNX way” is “safe and inherently good for the communities where we operate.”
This contention is at odds with hundreds of studies on the impacts of the unconventional gas industry on health, the environment and the climate. The ninth and most recent edition of a compendium of scientific, medical and media findings related to fracking found “no evidence” that fracking can be done in a way that “does not threaten human health directly.” Much of this research has focused on Pennsylvania."
