I'm guessing that WHAT is injected is as important as "redundent layers of cement and steel." However your point is valid: as long as it it impossible for frack fluids to contact the freshwater table, then what does it matter what is in them?
I'm betting that diesel is simply covered under a separate regulation than "all other frac fluids", which is why they focused on something so minor. Because they are exempt in what other fluids they pump, the people wanting to make a fuss picked one they knew was specifically exempted from the regulations.

Sure. And the law of averages says sooner or later, it is bound to happen. Omelet, egg shells, etc etc.
I hope Tim Probert and Andy O'Donnel will be able to chew gum with their butt-cheeks.
