Can We Have Some Fracking Perspective, Please?
The lack of the slightest fracking perspective when it comes to the reality of water pollution is evident when one pays attention to the news.
This is the e-mail I received earlier today from a good friend of NaturalGasNOW;
Anyone seen Josh, Maya….the Usual Suspects opining on this disaster?
Followed by a link to this story about raw sewage that could be flowing into the Meramec River for two more months before a wastewater treatment plant in Fenton, Missouri, resumes full operations after the Meramec River flooded the facility in late December.
