It's time to turn up the pressure on your legislators, the EPA, and the President over the unregulated permitting of the natural gas industry poisoning our water supplies. The "CONSERVATIVE" approach would be to protect our water supplies; ( in a world of heat waves and disappearing fresh water ), at all cost and as a priority over marginal profits. The gas can be extracted without poisoning our water and other environments. The conflict is over how much damage and death the natural gas industry should be permitted to wreak upon our water systems and the public relative to the amount of profit they can remove from our ground at any one time and place.

The evidence of fracturing's poisoning of even individual wells, as well as vast underground water systems in quite old now: ( "1987, EPA documented a case of fracturing fluids contaminating well water in West Virginia. The New York Times has much more here. Lee Fuller, president of the oil-and-gas industry group Energy in Depth, slammed the EWG report and the Times account. )

But Haliburton and their cronies are attempting to undermine any poison controlling regulation that would lessen their profits from killing us. They seem to have paid off all the right people too, because the EPA hasn't even enforced the inadequate regulation already on the books. It's come the our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren, or Haliburton's and Natural Gas Industry's profit margins.
