I’m a sand can driver for the frac industry ... this article is pure ee fried bullshit.
You’re aiding in the rape of mother earth with sand. LOL
I believe you.
Please point out what part of this story is not true.
Do you think that it is a conservative position to allow one party to destroy the resources of others, whether private citizens or the public, unregulated?
If the pro-drilling folks haven't been as dishonest as the anti-drilling crowd, I might be inclined to trust them more in self-regulation, but we've found that doesn't work. How many lawsuits have been settled with non-disclosure agreements, just so it doesn't get out there how often groundwater gets contaminated?
They should be regulated like any other industry, having to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act, etc.
I wish the industry had played it straight and agreed to a reasonable process (which, if their claims were true, shouldn't have bothered them much), rather than forcing the hand of so many regulatory entities.
Disclosure: I've conducted fracking operations as on-site oversight, as well as dealt with groundwater data in the area of fracking operations. Additionally, my employer has fracking operations as client sites, and friends of my family have leases based on royalties from successful drilling.
Well, since it involved the New York Times and Ed Markey, that's about what I suspected.
