Any warnings at all about fracking, even though those operations were heating up back then.

And if she has a cozy arrangement with Obama, maybe she could have scolded him out of some of his EPA's decisions. Like about how the Corexit his EPA managed to approve (through totally bogus testing) then went on to kill off most of the marine life in the Gulf and poison what it didn't kill.

And maybe she could have scolded him into having a sensible policy about fracking. After a person watches "Gaslands" and Gaslands II" then they begin to realize that it is Obama's EPA people who forced the middle level managers and researchers to stop looking into fracking. Prior to Obama having those researchers "cool it' there were EPA scientists who were beginning to identify the particular elements and molecules inside the fracking fluid so that people who had their health destroyed could actually take the Big Frackers to court. But Obama saw to it that the researchers stopped. (Or for that matter, Obama could simply issue a Presidential Executive Order that forbids companies from withholding the chemical formula of items that are killing people and the environment.
