And of course, they use the worst case as the example to characterize the entire basin. If it's drinking water quality (per EPA secondary standards), it's lower than 500 ppm TDS. Heck, my morning coffee water is at least 1000 TDS. We in the southwest would kill for that quality water. As said above, this is just another way for the enviro-Nazis (in cahoots with their BLM/FS/EPA buddies) to kill any type of energy production that doesn't meet their definition of "green".

Very well said and right on the money.

There you go. Run a pipeline and make it a double barrel. Sell the water and the gas.
