Oil and Gas Production Risks Downplayed on GAO Website
The Government Accountability Office (GOA) webpage on managing federal oil and gas resources was edited to remove a discussion of the environmental and public health risks of shale oil and gas production. The edited page now focuses on the job creation and economic benefits of production. A new section has been added highlighting the challenges of hiring sufficient human capital.
