“The review in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology also finds that people living on tribal lands or in minority communities are disproportionately affected and predicts that climate change will make it harder to locate safe sources of drinking water.”

Yet fracking remains a huge consumer of those same, soon to be hard to find, sources of drinking water; which also has absolutely no hope of ever being reclaimed.

It boggles the mind.

I thought so as well.

The economy in the meantime:

"Uh, we kind of fucked up a little by draining every cent into our own pockets, the company is doomed. Little help please? Golden parachute?"
