Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement today regarding the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) report on the drinking water effects of hydraulic fracturing.

"Today is a good day for American energy and the over 60,000 hard-working taxpayers in Louisiana's oil and gas industry," Rep Scalise said. "President Obama's EPA has finally acknowledged what experts have been saying for years, and I am pleased that the Administration, through this study, has finally confirmed that hydraulic fracturing does not harm drinking water as radical environmentalists have falsely claimed."
