Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper went to unusually great lengths to learn firsthand the strides the oil and gas industry has made to minimize environmental harm from fracking.
The first-term Democrat and former Denver mayor told a Senate committee on Tuesday that he actually drank a glass of fracking fluid produced by oilfield services giant Halliburton.
The fluid is made entirely “of ingredients sourced from the food industry,” the company says, making it safe for Mr. Hickenlooper and others to imbibe.
“You can drink it. We did drink it around the table, almost rituallike, in a funny way,” he told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “It was a demonstration. … they’ve invested millions of dollars in what is a benign fluid in every sense.”
Sen. Al Franken, Minnesota Democrat, found humor in the governor’s admission and asked if the experience was part of some bizarre occult practice.
“No, there were no religious overtures,” Mr. Hickenlooper responded.
While some laughed at the governor’s statement, he brought up the incident to make a serious point: that oil and gas companies have taken major steps forward in fracking technology.

The amazing thing is that on the average 60% of the
human body is Dihydrogen Monoxide, and it makes up
70% of the human brain!
RE: I hear that dihydrogen monoxide is even deadlier!
Tell me about it. Hurricane Sandy gave us too much of it.
cue laughing battlestar galactica nerds....
It;s like having sex in a canoe. Fracking near water.
I wouldn't make light of this. Fracking being harmless, this is heresy! Think of Hanoi Jane. Some in the DNC will view this as treason. They might want to excommunicate Hickenlooper. The next thing he might say is that fear of anthropogenic global warming is just scare mongering for crony capitalism!
Ask him again in thirty years. :)
Sadly, it’s been found in numerous swimming pools throughout the Country, and is known to drip off air conditioners regardless of chlorofluorocarbon factors.
And the fracking Idiots wonder why some call them fracking Useful.
FU Hickenlooper, and the frackwagon you rode in on.
“Some of my best friends are fracking fluid.”
