I just want to follow up on that real quickly, Mr.

I think the main problem is that it risks delaying the entire effort.

It is not an optimistic picture that you all paint, sadly.

In today's global economy, Europe is by far America's most important ally.

The ongoing European debt crisis presents one of the most complex challenges to European stability since the creation of the European Union.

Thank you very much, Senator Boxer and Senator Casey and Ranking Member DeMint for holding the hearing today.

Thank you very much, both of you, for what you are doing and for being here today.

It was an interesting story, and it doesn't sound like it's got too much impact on the industry.

I would be remiss if I didn't call attention to the story that appeared on the front page of 'The New York Times' today about the challenges with respect to mortgages.

Should it be required by States?

That's different than what you're seeing, Mr. Beauduy, is that correct?

I think it's fair to say that everybody hates big change, and no one really likes a lot of regulation.

For those people who aren't reporting and I certainly commend Apache for doing that, what's the impediment to that?

Thank you. I was--I had written it down. That 5,000 wells are--have currently, voluntarily posted on the Website the chemicals that they were using.

So, should that be addressed through State regulation? Is it that we don't have adequate enforcement of current regulations?

Now about 90 percent of it is being recycled.

So not an easy delineation.

We are here today at this water and power subcommittee to examine the effects of shale gas development on the water resources of the eastern United States.

Good afternoon, everyone. I apologize for the delay in starting this afternoon.

What would be in that brine that might make it harmful?
