however that is not only concern with fracking. what a lot of people relate to their water is very very important. the air pathway however that you're living with huge amount of volatile organic compounds in the air you can go buy bottled water, it is very hard to stop breathing the air. and that's what is making people sick. the each was epa was supposed to be testing that and they stopped studying that. >> there are republican presidential candidates that say dismantle the epa. >> i'm saying the report, the spin is very very easy to manipulate. the science not that easy to manipulate. if you look at the -- there are pdfs that show you very clearly where they looked for groundwater contamination and in every instance they found it. not only did they cut the air pollution part of it, they actually cut all case studies for this report. there are no influence case studies for this new epa report. why? because industry refused to cooperate with epa. they did not let them on their well sites or let them know chemicals are involved. the

texas's new law is banning the ban on fracking. showing how important oil and gas begame in a state like texas, and hour the balance of power was tilted. >>> in texas, energy is king, oil and gas helped the lone so far state's economy expand at twice the rate of the u.s. now texas may be in danger, transitioning from the job engine to its anchor. in march, texas lost 25,400 jobs, the most in the country, and the biggest job loss in four years. the big reason, the price of oil plunged more than half since its peak. many in texas need to do everything they can to keep the oil industry thriving. not etch feels the same way, particularly those in a town called denton, outside of dallas. this is oil country, we are smack dab in the middle of north texas, and platforms like these had rigs on them in which they were churning out oil through fracking. that got residents concerned. they voted to essentially prohibit fracking from taking place. they banned it. that is about to change. >> the governor signed a bill. all to make sure no town c

damage fracking does to our drinking water is all wet. plus showdown in texas oil money and power pitting people against their own state government. fracking the world itself has become nonuse itself against oil and gas interests against little guy. with health concerns specifically contaminated drinking water at the center of that fight. and that's what's making headlines like these ones, so shocking. a preliminary report released last week by the environmental protection agencies agency, the epa says hydraulic fracking does not problem to the environment. the epa doesn't believe it does damage to the drinking water. not so fast. the report was originally due out in 2012 at a cost of $12 million, remember that now a final report isn't due out until 2016 and it's going to cost $29 million and that's the key. the epa sphwended epa intended last week's release to be a preliminary statement not final assessment. assessment.fracking is the controversy method that's powering the america's energy boom. fracturing the rock, releasing oil and gas

they say fracking does not impact drinking water resources. this report shows that it does in numerous areas and shows that the whole process from where you get the water from how you use the drilling process to how you dispose of it, really there are problems within each of that. >> the report is unlikely to ease concerns in california. this man believes fracking is making his 13-year-old daughter sick. >> my daughter was laughing and jumping and running again. i love my daughter. the government don't hear any poor people. >> wells show three wells have been fracked near his daughter's school within the past three years. in it's preliminary report, the e.p.a. notes its findings could be limited meaning oil and gas companies failed to operate with them making it impossible to draw conclusions about fracking's effect in certain areas of the country. >> there was a lack of cooperation for all five years. the e.p.a. did the best that they could given the enormous data gaps and lack of cooperation within the industry. >> al jazeera washington. >>

if you're within a mile of a fracking well, and you see other compounds in the fracking water.did was that they went on down the study and asked for by the citizen. i was asked and i won 1 hundreds to testify. we wanted an air study and public health monitoring and ground and surface. we wanted land monitoring. epa did none of those things. over the course of the five years the industry got inside of the epa and attacked that they dismantled it. there were no case studies and they refused on my sites. so the epa then obama's epa that was political. >> well, because fracking has become natural gas is a huge part of what the energy policy is of america right now. it's giving people cheap energy and less carbon intensive. in terms of green house, that turns out to be bunk. it's essential. what is fascinating is that when i interviewed a lot of people around fracking and there's a million things. the ground water that's the sexiest are so many things that people hate about being next to fracking from earthquakes to trains and trucks rumbling through at night that have nothing to do

this was way before fracking appeared.s a joke in the area that if you turned the tap on you could light the water. that was way before fracking. >> i am your neighbor. >> are you kidding! >> there are 470 scientific reports that state that fracking contaminates ground water. >> -- wrong about lighting the tap water -- >> you're wrong. >> i did it myself. >> i do believe you are lying right now. >> lying? >> yes, i do. >> this interview is over. i am not lying. i did it myself. >> if you said to me -- >> thank you goodbye. you're outta here son. don't call me a liar. don't do that. >> you're clearly obfuscating the truth over and over again in this segment. >> thank you very much sir. would you please leave. >> it's rare that you go on fox news and msnbc on the same day. >> until i saw that clip it never occurred to me i like in-studio guests but the problem it's much more difficult to cut their mike and end the segment. >> you can't. but every single thing that this man was spouting in his tirade of bomb baft and how grea

. >> now to the debate over fracking and the impact on the environment. a new preliminary report says the oil and gas extraction process does not pose a widespread or systemic threat to drinking water. the environmental protection agency looked at possible vulnerables in the fracking process, the study found some specific cases of wells causing water pollution, but only in a small percentage of drilling. critics are seizing on the vulnerables outlined in the report, despite the preliminary findings opponented of frac willing not giving up without a fight, heidi joe castro is in dallas, heidi. >> john, the oil and gas industry certainly celebrated these results they were also pockets communities all around the country that live in and around fracking that said while the dangers may not be widespread, they certainly are real in their own backyards. toxic water he shows al jazeera jennifer london in march. >> i can see a damager pipe into an open dirt, spewing a black liquid into the ground. into this hole, now this hole is not the many middle of nowhere, it

that's a much older concern in relation to fracking.ave been studies that raised that concern as well. but as far as the quakes, it seems to be first of all very localized to texas and oklahoma even though there's plenty of fracking in north dakota and elsewhere. i think it's also important to point out the vast majority of fracking takes place in areas where there is minimal population like north dakota or west texas. what you're referring to in the fort worth basin is one of those rare examples where literally wells are being drilled within eyesight of the fort worth downtown. >> pavel, we got it. >> therefore, even if it's slightly more serious quake, maybe a 4.0 on the richter scale, by definition nobody would be around to feel it. >> got it. fafl, thank you. pavel molchanov of raymond james. he raises a good point in terms of there being concerns about the environmental impact of fracking long before and that has not stopped or impacted frackers. >> it's going to become a headwind for these names. but you know what a rusty wheel th

they said it's directly as a result of fracking.it wasn't. >> it goes to the power of the visual lie. all you have to do is light drinking water on fire once, and everyone is terrible of fracking. david: npr ran that story every night for a year. >> natural gas is naturally occurring in your water. i don't know if you want to drink it. it's not because of fracking. if it's not that, it's earthquakes. there's a theological opposition to this. president obama is saying we can't find the actual evidence. david: they're not biased in favor of fracking. president obama has spoken out against it. if they think it's safe, it's safe. what does this mean for the fracking industry in the u.s.? >> well, i don't think much right now. because there are also some economics that play here. we've had a downturn in the price of oil. this business has become less profitable. here in new york -- maybe there would be pressure to reverse that and allow these companies to operate in some of the poorer sections of our state. the problem is, you have, for

they voted on it and voted to essentially prohibit fracking from taking place inside this town. they banned it. but that is all about to change. governor greg abbott recently signed a bill into law that all but makes sure that no texas town could ever ban fracking again. the law largely strips local zoning boards of their power to regulate oil and gas and hands that power over to the states. governor abbott said its necessary to protect an energy city that accounts for nearly one fifth of the state's economic output. >> we're forming a patchwork quilt of bans, rules and regulations that are eroding the texas model. >> but denton residents like debby ingram argue that they're being disinfranchised. >> we've always had home rule is what the city of denton and city of argyle and most of the cities i've lived in, well, we get to decide what will happen to our citizens in our towns. basically they're telling us we don't have that option. >> debby said she voted in favor of the ban last year after an oil rig was placed roughly 300 feet from her house. >> it made is so you couldn't bre

the texas town of denton has repealed a voter-approved ban on hydraulic fracking after pressure from state officials and corporate interests. denton voters made their town the first in texas to ban the drilling technique by approving a ballot measure last year. they were immediately threatened with lawsuits by the texas oil and gas association and the texas general land office. those same interests worked with state lawmakers and the american legislative exchange council, or alec, to pass a recent law that outlaws fracking bans in texas. in response, denton officials have now voted to repeal their fracking ban, saying it's unenforceable under the new state law. the council's vote coincided with a protest at a denton fracking site that saw several people arrested, including 92-year old activist violet palmer. adam briggle of the anti-fracking group denton drilling awareness said -- "this is definitely not the end of the line. it is the beginning of a new chapter in our fight and it's one that's going to be texas-wide now." dozens of harlem residents protested in new york city on wedne
