As each day passes, the case against Fracking become more and more overwhelming.
In Pennsylvania alone, there have been over 1,400 environmental violations attributed tohydraulic fracturing, or ‘fracking’ deep gas wells. So why aren’t government officials taking a more aggressive stance toward the Fracking industry’s damning environmental health record? Answer: money and power.
The the report below by Truthstream Media outlines in grave detail, there are near invisible nuclear-based, radioactive materials incorporated into the fracking process. To release the shale gas and oil, engineers must inject millions of gallons of water and ‘frack fluid’ containing 600 chemicals – many of them toxic and some radioactive – into the ground at a high pressure in order to force natural gas to the surface. This process has been proven to contaminated well and drinking water for nearby residents in over 1,000 documented cases so far.
And that’s only the tiny tip of a very dangerous iceberg…
Shock: Fracking Used to Inject Nuclear Waste Underground for Decades
Unearthed articles from the 1960s detail how nuclear waste was buried beneath the Earth’s surface by Halliburton & Co. for decades as a means of disposing the by-products of post-World War II atomic energy production.
Fracking is already a controversial practice on its face; allowing U. S. industries to inject slurries of toxic, potentially carcinogenic compounds deep beneath the planet’s surface – as a means of ‘see no evil’ waste disposal – already sounds ridiculous, dangerous, and stupid anyway without even going into further detail.
