Fracking Disclosure Rules Approved In CO

Posted by Unknown on from the quench-your-thirst dept.

ExE122 writes "Colorado has approved new measures taking a tough stance on the disclosure of chemicals used in fracking. The new law is 'requiring companies to disclose the concentrations of chemicals in addition to the chemicals themselves.' Fracking is a controversial method of natural gas extraction that raises concerns about health and safety issues to surrounding communities. This measure is said to be tougher than similar measures passed in Texas earlier this year."

    MYTH. Absolutly incorrect. There is no proof frackning causes this. However it is a natural occurring phenomena that's older then fracking.
