Hey what could be wrong with it.. .They exempted Fracking from the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Bill etc.. during Dick Cheney's SECRET energy meetings....

You toss a car battery into a watershed and you can go to fed prison... meanwhile they are dumping millions of gallons of the same toxins into the ground....

Why do you people hate the poor and support big oil companies.

Can't understand you.

[lizzyboo1328]

fracking... no! :/ it's like pooping in your water

Plus most of you dont know the water is flowed back to the surface into containers and is treated and reused all the chemicals the I work for r bio degradable we use less than 10 chemicals the worst is hydrocloric acid sound bad it diluted down to 3 percent acid beforw pumped down in the ground followed by way more water than need to neutralize it my hands r in the frac water every day for 14 days at a time I get it in my mouth on my face and some times I get soaked head to toe and i am healthy

[johnsZ281]

All u stupid mother fucking tree huggers who complain about people like me who frac r the same ones who turn up your heat in the winter and cook on gas grills if it wasn't for people like me you wouldn't have that privilege besides when we frac its thousands of feet below any water table eat so eat shit and die hippies

@manonthemount Are you in 6th grade ?

[manonthemount]

it's too bad RT distorts reality as badly as fox, just in the other direction

[manonthemount]

@zebratangozebra but my republican congressman said oil companies are job creators and gay people are satan's friends!

WWJD?

[chillytoes1]

mmmm formaldehyde in our water, good for the bones!!

[riveness]

This is really poor. The Cabot case which is the most famous case used against fracking pointed to poor cement as the cause and not fracking. Thus even for 'normal' operations, the water would have been comtaminated.
