NOIA pleased with fracking decision - lauds content of appropriations Bill

摘要

The president of the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) in the US, Randall Luthi, has issued the following statement following release of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) report on offshore fracking. "Today's final environmental assessment (EA) report by BOEM and BSEE reaffirms what our industry already knows: there are no significant environmental impacts from offshore fracking. Unlike the hyperbole released by many of the extreme environmental groups, the EA's findings are backed by science and are a testament to the hardworking men and women of our industry. They live, work and play at the same beaches, fishing grounds and coastal communities as millions of Americans and are dedicated to a safe and environmentally sustainable workplace. Every day, they live up to some of the strictest standards in the world - standards set by both the offshore industry and by the federal government.
