If fracking was regulated the way you want it then it would not be as widely available or financially lucrative.

It does clear fracking. What it doesn't clear are the companies that ignore laws and still frack where there are drinking water sources. Which rarely happens ever. When companies frack in rock formations that contain drinking water resources that's illegal. When fracking is done legally then it contaminates no drinking water sources, and that's why the EPAs analysis clears them.

If fracking was regulated the way I want it then it wouldn't be as widely available, or as lucrative, but it still would be available and lucrative. If done right then it would be better for the economy and the environment.
