[True Earthling]

Most scientists have long maintained it was highly unlikely that chemicals pumped into the ground for fracking gas could move all the way up through bedrock and into the water table.

2. And we should be watching too....and not just that tiny town.

Fracking is an environmental disaster, and the sooner we realize it, the better.

4. Don't just watch.

5. And the sand for that is coming from Wisconsin

There is an explosion of mining companies setting up shop in rural Wisconsin. Taking down entire hillsides and shipping them off on truck and rail.

Bad stuff.

Sorry, no link right now, at work.
