NEPA Reps, Trump Administration Reopen Fracking Conversation for Delaware River Basin

Local representatives and members of the Trump administration met this weekend to discuss ways to fight the ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin, in order to return drilling rights to property owners in Wayne and Pike counties, and to help make Northeastern Pennsylvania the Artificial Intelligence (AI) capital of the world. Representative Rob Bresnahan, the newly-elected congressman for Pennsylvania’s eighth district, convened a roundtable on Sunday with local pro-fracking industry figures, advocates and elected officials. Together with Lee Zeldin, newly appointed head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), they talked about the need to unleash the natural gas resources in the Delaware River Basin and throughout the country.Liam Mayo was there for The River Reporter.
