Study Finds Fracking Chemicals Didn't Pollute Water

Posted by Soulskill on from the it-was-like-that-when-we-found-it dept.

RoccamOccam sends this news from the Associated Press: "A landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, shows no evidence that chemicals from the natural gas drilling process moved up to contaminate drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site. After a year of monitoring, the researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas trapped deep below the surface stayed thousands of feet below the shallower areas that supply drinking water."

    And how do I know you're anything but a shill for the fabulous frackers, AC man or woman or just plain shill? You do know that tests for water generally show a laundry list of carcinogens which are never found in those amounts in non-fracking areas, right? Shill away, AC.
