No companies submitted proposals by Friday’s deadline to drill for natural gas on University of Tennessee land as part of a fracking research proposal in the Cumberland Forest
I'm wondering if it's that no fracking company wants that many people looking over their shoulder while they do such a sketchy thing as frack? If this is really a study to see if water supplies are harmed by fracking and they frack and water supplies are harmed there will be a smoking gun as to who did it and who is liable.
