Colorado Oil and Gas Association President: Fracking safe, CO2 not safe?!

USGS scientist: ‘We’re only starting to learn’ about fracking, fluid injection, earthquakes | The Colorado Independent

Although she was speaking before the Colorado and Virginia quakes and not addressing those specific concerns, Colorado Oil and Gas Association President and CEO Tisha Schuller recently told an energy conference in Aspen that public concern about fracking — blasted by some on the Western Slope for potentially contaminating groundwater supplies — is akin to skepticism by others about climate change.

“In the same way that the climate movement has to deal with this unimaginable conflict about people not believing in science, we have to do that in the conversation about hydraulic fracturing,” Schuller said, according to the Aspen Daily News. “And the nature of the conversation is as important as the information … The public must be willing to hear that it’s safe when it’s demonstrated.”
