The US code is far bigger then what any single person can fully comprehend. This likely holds true for Denmark and the EU if you add up all laws in force.

So it's likely impossible to determine if a complex activity, like fracking in a specific location, is fully legal without years of ground work.

No "single person" is trying to determine if fracking in a specific location is legal, right? That's the domain of large companies with large staffs who are well familiarized with all of the regulations, isn't it?

The large staffs you speak of are made of individual people. They can't mind meld.
