The EPA released a new study on Friday called, "Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing on Drinking Water Resources: Progress Report" (via Russell Gold and Matt Smith).
The title is misleading — it should probably have been called "A Progress Report Of The Study..." because it's basically an update of a megastudy on fracking's impact that will not come out for years and doesn't draw any conclusions.
