1. THE INDUSTRY SHILLS SAY:
Hydraulic fracturing technology has a strong environmental track record.
THE REALITY IS:
Fracking consumes millions of gallons of freshwater, pollutes groundwater and air, and—thanks to leaking methane—may contribute more to climate change than burning coal.
An EPA report demonstrated that fracking wastewater is too radioactive to be dealt with safely by municipal treatment plants.
One study showed that average methane concentrations in water wells near active fracking sites were 17 times higher than in wells in inactive areas.
Fracking can lead to ozone pollution, which inflames lung tissues, causing coughing, chest pain, and asthma. Children and the elderly suffer the most.
