If the EPA halts Bakken development:
> Crude oil price soar and gasoline is over $5/gallon next summer
> Obama will be killed in the election
> Our dependence on foreign oil goes even higher
> Chance of global economic collapse is very high.

Only a totally insane government would do it. So, it may happen.

News Flash: Fracing in wells over a mile deep that have been properly cased = zero risk to water table a few hundred feet from the surface.
