The following interview originally aired on the July 21st, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. For several years, the EPA has been back and forth on whether or not to implement stricter standards on hydraulic fracturing. And recently, it was revealed that the EPA actually intervened on behalf of fracking companies to prevent investigations into their dangerous practices. Ring of Fire guest host Farron Cousins discusses the EPA’s actions and the dangers of fracking with Brendan DeMelle, managing editor of DeSmogBlog.com and investigative journalist Steve Horn.
