Maybe she is perpetrating a fraud. I have no problem admitting my perspective is limited. I have tried to educate myself a little bit.
Do you agree with any of the following:
Fracking fluid is nasty stuff.
Millions of gallons get pumped in and about half is recovered afterwards. The rest remains...somewhere.
The recovered waste water is also nasty stuff that you sure would not want spilled around your house or dumped into any river near you.
I have no idea but casual reseach indicates it is 99% sand and water and that companies are reluctant to release exact formulations.

Into the same reservoir containing ethane, propane and many other items you don't want to drink either. And was already there. You should realize the amount of separation and seal sources that already exist in place. That is why the gas/oil was trapped there in the first place.

True of millions of gallons of industrial fluids used every single day in thousands of business. Care needs to be given. But we should not be reduced to living in caves. Fear mongering by environmentalists and ambulance chasing attorneys should not dictate our access to our resources. Recycling the fracture water is becoming more common. It reduces the demand for water when fracturing the next well.
I really recommend doing more to educate yourself on the topic if you are truly interested.

Look at the critics, but also get information from the industry using it and people who have lived with hydraulic fracturing for decades.
