Underground disposal
When the natural gas companies are done using fracking fluid, it is injected into the ground even deeper than the gas well. This method of disposal is called an injection well.

Cities have to clean their public wastewater, and non-natural gas corporations...

Kansas Rep. Pete DeGraaf equates getting raped with not being prepared enough to buy insurance or keep a spare tire.
DeGraaf’s Web sitelists his office number as 785-296-7693, his home phone as 316-777-0715 - that’s at 1545 E. 119th St. Mulvane, KS - and his e-mail as pete.degraaf@house.ks.gov. You know, just in case you’re one of the people who do disagree with him and...

Dear Exxon Mobil,
Recently I witnessed your commercial promoting natural gas as an energy source. This commercial is an excellent piece of propaganda, with its melodious soundtrack and nonthreatening actor playing a scientist who proclaims that fracking is safe. I can only conclude that you…

Sixteen Cows Drink Frackwater in Louisiana, Foam...
Fracking is Safe. …unless you come in contact with the water or the fluids or the air around drilling sites, injection sites, or compressor sites.
