Oh, yeah.

One more thing.

When the EPA considers the carbon footprint of fracking along with it's methane footprint, it needs to consider the diesel fuel used in transportation of vast amounts of water AND that of the mining operation of vehicles for mining and the sands' transportation. When all the carbon dioxide and methane is added up; fracking for natural gas is a greenhouse gas intensive operation.

The US EPA doesn't necessarily get that correct.
