Looks like the EPA is taking another look at their regulations. It's true that fracking isn't the monster in the closet that everyone makes it out to be, but this sort of thing is fixable.

Exactly. The EPA is alway increasing their regulatory burden as they, like any other b'cracy, chases the end state of perfectly controlled behavior.

Good luck with that.

I suspect that we long ago passed the Pareto point with regard to all regulatory infrastructure.

Baha, don't talk to the government about Pareto efficiency. Heh.
