EID's Krohn: Water Contamination leaves "Room for Improvement"
3:Energy In Depth's John Krohn just admitted some truth in a recent LttE in the Scranton Times-Tribune in response to their series by Laura Legere (http://tinyurl.com/mm6jnhj) on widespread water contamination in Pennsylvania. While he was trying his best to "debunk" the piece, he accidentally admitted that there was water contamination caused by gas drilling by saying the number of incidents dropped by 70% when the DEP adopted stronger casing regulations! He also said that continued incidents were "room for improvement".
