Unfortunately, most people still don’t know that “Natural Gas” is actually a greenwashed term for one of the most devastating ways to produce energy yet devised, i.e. Fracking, which not only pollutes our environment, and eventually our bodies, but has been proven to destabilize geological structures, thereby increasing seismic activity like earthquakes.
The study being reported on below is the first of its kind to prove that wastewater from fracking operations is cancer-causing. This follows closely on the heels of a must-read study we reported on last year which showed that this same wastewater contains highly carcinogenic radioactive material that will pollute the environment for thousands of years.
With farmers in regions like California now approved to use fracking wastewater to produce crops, the research being reported on below has serious implications to those who rely on this food for their health and well-being.
What’s the solution? We need to work together to advocate for truly “green” energy alternatives, as well as reducing our consumption.
Voting with your fork and dollar has always been the most effective way to affect change from the grassroots up — i.e., support companies, services, and products, that have no ties to industries like this.
The other approach is to fight for legislation, such as The Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act (H.R. 1084, S. 587, dubbed as the FRAC Act) — a legislative proposal in the United States Congress to define hydraulic fracturing as a federally regulated activity under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
