Areas around fracking sites must be even worse.
- msandford 10y agoWhy is that? My understanding is that fracking "recipes" are secret only because they're so boring. If it's just soap and sand and whatnot and you're making $50mm a year on it, you gotta keep the recipe a secret or else everyone will copy it and you're out of business.
- finid 10y agoNop! They are secret because those involved don't want us to know the exact nature of the dangerous chemicals they're pumping into the environment. And I don't even want to get into the associated earthquakes.
