what the frack?
Over 3,500,000 gallons
of water are used when
fracking a single well.
Drilling emits Nitrogen Oxide & Volatile
Organic Compounds, resulting in
destructive surface smog.
Over 80,000 pounds of chemicals are
injected into the earth's crust to frack
each well.
A loophole in the '05 Energy Bill exempts
gas drillers from EPA guidelines like the
Clean Water Act.
Researchers suspect 65 of the
compounds used in Fracking are
hazardous to human health
Fracking Fluid calls for 2 million gallons
of H20, transported by up to 100 water-
haulers.
Upwards of 70% of Fracking fluid
remains in the ground and is not
biodegradable.
