Texas: Drillers Must Disclose ‘Fracking’ Chemicals
Gov. Rick Perry has signed a bill requiring drillers to disclose the chemicals they use when extracting oil and gas from rock formations, making Texas the first state to pass such a law.

1. There's an easier solution to fracking problems
Require ALL company execs and their families to live on the premises of any fracking job.

This would also work to reduce problems at nuclear energy plants and other polluting industries.

If only.

4. it is nott so much living on the premises of the fracking sites
as drinking the water that comes from the ground/reservoirs.
