2. The link in the OP is broken

It leads to a blank "post a message" page.

I'd was hoping to read more about the EPA's findings as far as which chemicals were found in the groundwater, etc.

4. Okay, my question is...

if the science is not settled on the risks of fracking, but there is a sizable probability the practice is endangering drinking water supplies and evidence is mounting that it is destabilizing geological formation resulting in earthquakes, then why the fuck is the practice allowed at all without full study?!

Oh, I forgot...lots of money to be made...friends in high places...who the hell cares if some drinking water gets poisoned. :mad:

5. manipulated..

I live on the other end of this fracas, where the $200/ton fracking sand is mined. 24/7 blasting, open pit mines, blowing silica dust.

Its really starting to feel like a third world country here these days, our economy is so depressed that we have to resort to environmentally destructive activities in the name of jobs and energy.
Fossil Fuel dependence definitely played its part in getting us into this economic mess, and now what do you know, we just have no choice other than to bend over and let them have their way with us. smacks of deliberate manipulation.

learn more about the frack sand issues.
