The same people that say man is causing [[Global Warming]] are now claiming that hydraulic fracturing is causing [[earthquake]]s and pollutes water supplies. Liberals are anti-oil and will do anything to stop America from creating more oil chiefly because of the atmospheric pollution it is associated with. Those organizations with an agenda and money will continue to spread lies in order to achieve a ban, despite the lack of evidence.<ref>[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-03-27/fracking-s-earthquake-risks-push-states-to-collaborate.html Fracking’s Earthquake Risks Push States to Collaborate, Bloomberg.com, march 27, 2014]</ref> In 2015, the [[EPA]] ruled that fracking was not a hazard to water supplies.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/article/419418/even-obamas-epa-now-admits-fracking-hasnt-harmed-water-supplies-jillian-kay-melchior Even Obama’s EPA Now Admits Fracking Hasn’t Harmed Water Supplies, National Review, June 15, 2015</ref> This didn't stop the Governor Andrew Cuomo of [[New York]] from banning fracking in his state.

The study frequently cited by advocates of fracking bans was authored by Cornell University scientists  Robert Howarth and Anthony Ingraffea which set high estimates on the amount of methane released during the drilling and development of gas wells that are fracked.  However, this study has been widely criticized by subsequent research.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2013/09/18/university-of-texas-environmental-defense-fund-shale-gas-study-unmasks-politics-of-anti-fracking-activist-cornell-scientists/#1a7417a37880|title=University Of Texas-Environmental Defense Fund Shale Gas Study Unmasks Politics Of Anti-Fracking Activist Cornell Scientists|work=Forbes|date=September 18, 2013|first=Jon |last=Entine|accessdate=May 4, 2016}}</ref>
