Cheney’s Halliburton Loophole Sucks Power from EPA to Regulate Fracking

July 4, 2014--Now that fracking is taking off, government regulators and environmental interests find they are powerless to protect public health and the environment.

This reflects the overwhelming power of Dick Cheney to ensure that his former company (Halliburton) could begin frucking anywhere they wanted without having to comply with pesky federal laws like the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

This is part of a clear pattern where Halliburton received no-bid contracts to exploit and attempt to explore Iran's oil and to rebuild New Orleans after their technology caused the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

As Rick Perry would say, "oops!"

In this article you will learn the full details of what has come to be known as “The Halliburton Loophole.”

Learn how Vice President Cheney effectively squashed the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate fracking and its waste products. 

Read the accounts of senior level EPA officials who became whistle-blowers when they realized how their agency had been captured by the greed of the vice-president who continued to work for Halliburton all during his time in office.

 
             
Wouldn't you think Ch...Ch...Ch...Cheney (that's pronounced phuck!) could afford to have his teeth fixed, so he wasn't so scary looking?

*It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground--a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"--and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
