What’ goes down the well is no more hazardous than what lies beneath your sink, or sits atop your laundry closet.

Understood - but for the record, I do not drink the substances which lie beneath my sink or sit atop of my laundry cabinet.

I do, however, drink groundwater.

I do, however, drink groundwater.

I don't like the study for that implication.

There isn't anything existing naturally in the oil/gas reservoir you want to drink either.

This isn't being injected into the drinking water levels.

And those substances are much more likely to affect groundwater if they are used or disposed improperly such as down the drain to your septic tank. That connection is a lot closer to your well than frac fluids used thousands of feet beneath protected groundwater.

Drinking Fracking Fluid

I do, however, drink groundwater.

And the fracking fluids are deposited some two miles below the water table. You won't find them in your drinking water.
