Fracking contaminates the water used to fracture the fuel bearing layers. This contamination is permanent, so disposal of the water is a cost that the industry would like to “externalize” which means they’d like to have others deal with it. They have various schemes, which don’t clean it, they make it the base for another

“A 2011 analysis by federal scientists found liquid waste from Marcellus shale gas wells had overall concentrations of radium roughly 40 times what the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission classifies as “hazardous” or “radioactive.” Despite these characteristics, Congress in 1980 exempted oil and gas waste from federal hazardous waste regulations pending a review. In 1988, the

It’s a terribly destructive process that permanently contaminates water, rendering it unsafe for human or animal consumption. The energy industry propagandizes and minimizes the damage, so you don’t hear much about it. Consider these statistics and think about all the efforts we make
