You raise an interesting idea about the fracking. They are doing it in PA just west of me too.
The federal government gave oil companies complete immunity from all lawsuits regarding this practice - all states can do about exploding tap water and visible methane fog is require the drilling companies (who provide quick fixes but refuse to admit the visible phenomena are real or even buy themselves a think tank study) to deliver clean drinking water to the towns they damage.
I don't know enough about this issue to give a podcast, but it might be a good idea to find someone. The idea that the states cannot protect their own land or citizens due to complete federal immunity for the oil companies' actions is a great example of why we need to give the Senate back to the states.
