Senate Republicans say the Delaware River Basin Commission doesn’t have the authority to impose a moratorium on fracking in the basin.

The money will fund two observational epidemiological studies to be finished within two years.

Researchers don’t know what part of fracking could be causing the problem. A cardiologist said that’s important to find out, given the significant role fracking plays in Pennsylvania’s economy.

The assault is playing out in a barrage of TV ads and conservative and right-wing websites, and is repeated at every Trump rally in the state.

Scott Detrow, now a political correspondent for NPR, reported for StateImpact Pennsylvania from 2011-2013. He says fracking is a more complex issue in Pa. than it’s made out to be on the national stage.

The Trump campaign is trying to build momentum in Pennsylvania with just two weeks to go before Election Day.

Scientists say the levels are below public health limits, but are cause for concern and more study on fracking-related emissions.

While Trump keeps bringing it up in the campaign, Pennsylvania voters are most focused on health care, the pandemic and the economy.
