Here is an article from the NYT on monster fracking.
Did you know? Big oil, besides getting truly massive subsidies, is rapidly using up scarce water supplies.
Together, oil and gas operators reported using about 1.5 trillion gallons of water since 2011, much of it from aquifers, the Times found. Fracking a single oil or gas well can now use as much as 40 million gallons of water or more.
