This article has been in every paper, from the Business Insider and the Wall Street Journal to the HuffPo. And it explains that Range Resources threatened the EPA into backing down. Now any thinking person would ask "why". Why do they have to threaten the EPA? There must have been something there.

The other question is "how the hell can some third rate company intimidate the EPA?" That is probably scarier.
