Fracking fluid no more toxic than common household products - CU Study

[Justin]

Toxic is toxic. They're counting on non critical thinkers to believe that ,,, "oh well it isn't that dangerous"....

If this were true, taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D would kill you dead instead of being good for you.

As the old saying goes "The dose makes the poison."

I distill all my drinking water. I live downstream from a uranium processing plant. Filters on the shower heads too. Don't worry the EPA will use your tax dollars to clean it up. Oh wait, it is our money...

This came up in the movie Gasland. As it turned out, the homeowner's well went right through a naturally occurring pocket of methane though that part didn't make the news.

I've never heard of anyone (semi-educated) complaining about the fracking fluid being toxic. The biggest complaint I have heard is the whole natural gas/oil/etc that is released by the fracking getting into the water supply. e.g. the water coming out of my kitchen sink is on fire..

Is this a "thing"?

No, it's not really a thing.

Wonder if there's a way the House could block any Keystone bill til after the new congress is seated without looking like the bad guys?

Why do that? This is a last ditch effort by Landrieu to garner votes, but it doesn't appear that people are buying it. The latest numbers show her 16 points down to her challenger.
