In Wyoming, scientists say chemical contamination from fracking has poisoned the water supply of the small town of Pavillion. The scientists recorded benzine levels 50 times above permitted limit. This comes three years after the Environmental Protection Agency decided to halt its investigation about water contamination in Pavillion. Wyoming: Fracking Poisoned Water Supply of Small Town | Democracy Now!
Well EXACTLY as I predicted, fracking toxic solvents breached fragile underground barriers and poisoned an aquifer in a small town in Wyoming. That entire town will have to pack it up now or truck in water. Once destroyed, you cannot clean up solvents from an aquifer.
This will be the end of our fresh water underground...all so the fossil fuel moguls can make a few more bucks before they croak. It reminds me of how gold miners poisoned many fresh water reserves with mercury they used to refine the gold from ore. Once done, it can never be undone. Benzine is a carcinogenic chemical that causes a host if illnesses in humans if ingested. It is but one of a slew of toxic ingredients, some of which the frackers refuse to disclose to the public, used in solvents the frackers inject under high pressure to dissolve oil from fractured shale.
