This time it's UT and their "Fact-based" Fracking Study. How much drilling is done on the UT campus? How much money has the industry donated to UT? WHO would expect anything less?
Two more bite the dust. WHO's next?
Review of UT Fracking Study Finds Failure to Disclose Conflict of Interest (Updated)
The long-awaited review of a controversial study on the drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” was released today, and it finds numerous errors and flaws with how the study was conducted and released, as well as University of Texas policies for disclosing conflicts of interest.
The head author of the study, Dr. Charles “Chip” Groat, has retired in the wake of the controversy, and the head of the Energy Institute that released it, Dr. Raymond Orbach, has resigned as head of the Institute, the University announced today.
After similar issues at the University at Buffalo over a report on fracking that also lacked scientific backing and failed to disclose industry ties, the Univeristy shuttered its Shale Resources and Society Institute, which released the study, last month.
