Antifracking or profracking you need to understand your individual impact on those debates. Every time you turn on your natural gas stove and every time you go and use a natural gas heater you are encouraging the use of hydraulic fracturing in our economy. So its important to understand individual responsibility. A lot of folks dont. Without let me turn it over to questions. Can you come over to the mic . Hi. I guess my question is what a lot of this be solved if the fracking industry was forced to follow the Clean Air Act i mean the clean water act . How much is it the problem of . My feeling is if its safe youve got to do it because we are all using energy but i always assumed there was more safety than your explaining here. If theyre not following the clean water act its pretty mu much theres no transparency. And it seems like we have to trust an industry that why should i trust someone . Thats my question. I can give a brief answer. It would become more expensive for the industry t
Had counties or local municipalities successfully challenge the industry. So while we dont have National Policy on this or limited National Policy, theres developing policy on a community level. Thats very important. Now, the story in new york started with this awareness with the big deal with the ifs sit farmers got sit farmers, the 110 million deal. And all this chain of events that went with that ended up with the moratorium in new york state. Meanwhile, pennsylvania has gone full ahead with it, and sitting right on the border youve really had a case study of two different states and the ramifications in these two different states with the development. Personally, and thats where all this comes home, right . I mean, we can talk all these technical things and policy things all along, but how does it affect people .

Asked by our constituents all the time to support very projects. Deputy secretary theres been some question about this review board that you allegedly created to review the l. A. Films case. Are you aware of that . Yes, but that was not created for that case. That was created for all cases. The concept of the decision board was generated in 2011. I discussed with career employees the application of that decision board to the issue of difference, which was of tremendous concern in the community, in the eb5 program. I discussed its application with a number of career employees in 2012 and ongoing. So it was not limited to that one case. Zblf the decision board or deference board, as it was termed subsequently was a reform applicable to the eb5 program writ large and it was needed and especially with respect to the the issue of difference, which caused so much consternation in the community, wh u when uscis would make a decision.
