Halliburton Loophole, Fracking, Safe Drinking Water Act
The "Halliburton Loophole," established during Dick Cheney's vice presidency, exempts hydraulic fracturing from EPA supervision under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This allows the oil and gas industry to inject hazardous materials near drinking water supplies. The hosts note that the Obama administration has continued to support and expand fracking despite these environmental risks.
