This three part series paints a different picture of the gas companies. Compared to big oil companies they are small and independent and apparently do not have the sway of big politics on their hands, except in instances where they are exempt from the clean air and the safe water drinking act. But NPR didn’t mention any of that.
They did run this separate story about the gas wells and drinking water.
