Pennsylvania is letting a gas company monitor itself. Unsurprisingly, it just declared its fracking operations 'safe'
Briefly

The partnership between CNX Resources and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is based on 'radical transparency,' aiming to alleviate public concern over fracking operations.
CNX's CEO pointed out that drilling 'done the CNX way' is 'safe and inherently good for the communities where we operate,' suggesting positive community impacts from their practices.
Despite CNX’s claims, numerous scientific studies contradict the assertion that fracking poses no health risks, with evidence showing it can threaten human health directly.
In line with the new partnership's goals, CNX will increase drilling setbacks and engage in rigorous air and water quality monitoring to enhance public safety.
