3 Billion Gallons Of Fracking Wastewater Pumped Into Clean California Aquifiers: "Errors Were Made" State Admits

 

Via comment by Anonymous on Everything you want to know about fracking fluid ...

Dear California readers: if you drank tapwater this morning (or at any point in the past few weeks/months), you may be in luck as you no longer need to buy oil to lubricate your engine: just use your blood, and think of the cost-savings. That's the good news.

Also, the bad news, because as the California’s Department of Conservation’s Chief Deputy Director, Jason Marshall, told NBC Bay Area, California state officials allowed oil and gas companies to pump up to 3 billion gallons (call it 70 million barrels) of oil fracking-contaminated waste water into formerly clean aquifiers, aquifiers which at least on paper are supposed to be off-limits to that kind of activity, and are protected by the government's EPA - an agency which, it appears, was richly compensated by the same oil and gas companies to look elsewhere.

  1. Uh oh, looks like a state wide crisis in need of more gov micro-managing. I'm sure it wasn't really intended for population control....

  2. Dirty hands and souls involved on all sides in this one. Disappointing to say the least. This does *not* help the fracking movement and our continued bid to push for complete energy Independence.

  3. The additives used in fracking are non toxic....they are food grade. While the water may taste a bit funny nobody will get sick let alone die from this.

    1. I remember growing up in Marshall, Virginian the town water would come out brown at times, but wasn't a problem.
