"WHEREAS, the United States Department of Energy recently studied the impacts of subjecting hydraulic fracturing to the EPA underground injection control program and projected that it would add an average of more than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in costs to each new natural gas well that requires fracturing, which would result in billions of dollars in deferred investment, reductions in new drilling of thirty-five (35%) to fifty percent (50%), foregone reserve additions of as much as fifty trillion (50,000,000,000,000) cubic feet of natural gas and foregone royalties from natural gas of nearly fifty billion dollars ($50,000,000,000.00) over twenty-five (25) years; and".  LARSON, CHAIRMAN
