Here are some of the links I used on the show today. The best link though is the first one. A comprehensive look at fracking and the laws concerning the process.
More later.

I heard part of your show this morning. You mentioned that chemicals make up less than one percent of the fracking fluid. That's right, but that's like saying cyanide only makes up one percent of my milk and cereal.
ReplyDeleteI'm skeptical of the sources you linked to since most who speak well of hydraulic fracturing are somehow connected to the oil and gas industry, starting with Mr. Porter and Ms. Jones from the Railroad Commission.
I really hope the drilling in Webb County is on the up and up. I don't mind them drilling near here, but I don't want any drinking water contaminated.
RGISC meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at the church on the corner of Springfield and Hillside.
