I'm certainly not an expert, but I'm naturally suspicious when money + regulators + special concessions collide. These are two arbitrary links I found from a quick search: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-11/frack-freely-but-disclose-chemicals-put-into-the-ground.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-11/frack-freely-but-di... "The disclosure requirements in several states allow energy companies wide latitude to claim “trade secret” status for the chemical makeup of their fracking fluids. And at least two states place unreasonable restrictions on doctors and other health officials who learn about any of these “proprietary” ingredients. " http://www.propublica.org/article/critics-find-gaps-in-state-laws-to-disclose-hydrofracking-chemicals http://www.propublica.org/article/critics-find-gaps-in-state... "“While we support disclosing our ingredients, it is critical to our business that we protect our recipe,” Tara Mullee Agard, a spokeswoman for Halliburton, one of the world’s largest oil and gas service companies, told ProPublica in an email." It's hard to model the risk from fracking, if protecting the business is more important than our health and the environment's health. I don't think we can just take their word that they are being safe.
