House OKs shifting control of fracking waste water

7. And yet, when you drill a water well in the area, you come up with soft caliche, then red bed clay,

then water. Ask any rancher in the area.

And none of that is 0% porosity.

Look at the WCS website and especially the pictures. The pit they are using is lined with black plastic, and most of the stuff in there is in steel drums and cardboard boxes.

And the Hanford material coming has already leaked once - that's why they're cleaning it up.

I know that Texas Tech received a large grant which led to the reclassification that miraculously allowed a dump in the exact area they wanted it and no other.

And if it was so safe then Harold Simmons would not have insisted that the state of Texas be liable for any contamination that takes place. He got that guarantee from the Legislature.

Your links are fine, I'm sure. But people on the ground here are not so sure.

And I see Big Spring, 60 miles east of here, is thinking of doing the same thing. Now won't it be a miracle when a big chunk of 0% porosity rock just happens to underlie that area, too?
