Ok...I must confess. In the late 80’s and early 90’s I was employed byHalliburton as a “Blender Tender” Which means I was responsible for mixing and maintaining frac fluids and for mixing the sand into the fluid.
To be honest, 99.9% of the fluids used by the frack process are combletely harmless. Essentialy they are using the same formula as jello. There are a couple of additives that can be ugly...but they are the same things used by water departments to keep bacteria out of water.
The other part of this equation is the fact that frac activity has a remarkable safety record in terms of cross contamination. The whole arguement in my opinion is baseless.
This is little more than our enemies trying to remove the ability of the United States to have a viable long term energy source.
When I see this arguement ( Kills minorities and women and kids). I quickly mark the person spouting it as either a useful idiot or a domestic/International enemy.
Any burning questions you want to know about the process?
Yeah Dr. Fracenstein, why is Dick Cheney trying to kill all the children and minorities? ;)
