Environmental groups and the Obama Administration say they plan to appeal a federal judge’s decision to overturn Bureau of Land Management’s fracking rules.
A ruling an attorney for these groups said the ruling will have far-reaching impacts over future regulation of US oil and gas operations.
The ruling could make many of the existing regulations over fossil fuel production illegal and could severely hinder any future oversight of oil and gas operations, according to Mike Freeman, a Colorado-based attorney with Earthjustice, as reported by Platts.
