At the Forefront of Fracking

Anastasia Pantsios published a fantastic article at
EcoWatch about Ohio's shameful role at the forefront of the
fracking industry.  The article is based in part on the U.S.
Government Accountability Office report, Drinking Water:
Characterization of Injected Fluids Associated with Oil and Gas
Production (also known as GAO-14-957R) that examined the fracking
industry in seven states. The good news is that the report
documents the horrific conditions now present in Ohio due to the
booming fracking industry.  The bad news is that there is 0
chance that the politicians in Ohio will do anything about this
issue.  Why is that?  Because the American Legislative
Exchange Council has helped the oil and gas industry pass laws
in Ohio that will need repealed before any action can be taken. One
law in Ohio classified solution injected into the Earth as a 'trade
secret', so no one knows exactly what is seeping into the
groundwater.  [Click to Listen]
