YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

TYT Contributor David Sirota discusses a recent study from the Colorado School of Public Health which found that cancer risk for people living within 500 feet of oil and gas wells is eight times higher than the EPA's top threshold. The study is coming out at a time when Colorado Republican Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is working to overturn a key legal rule designed to protect public health and the environment. It's expected that Coffman and allies will work to discredit the study which, ironically, comes from The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, named for conservative oil magnate Phil Anschutz.
