The state of Pennsylvania has released redacted details of 243 cases of water contamination caused by fracking and related activities by the natural gas industry. Claims made by the fracking industry that they have not contaminated water are utter rubbish. These 243 cases which took place in Pennsylvania between 2008 and 2014 involve a wide range of contamination problems including the contamination of multiple water supply wells by one fracking operation.  State officials did not indicate how many more cases of contamination may have occurred since 2008 that are not included in this list.
The 243 cases, from 2008 to 2014, include some where a single drilling operation impacted multiple water wells. The problems listed in the documents include methane gas contamination, spills of wastewater and other pollutants, and wells that went dry or were otherwise undrinkable. Some of the problems were temporary, but the names of landowners were redacted, so it wasn't clear if the problems were resolved to their satisfaction. Other complaints are still being investigated


remember Michelle Bachmann and her rant against ObamaCares, well she got the words right but again the wrong subject that her party happens to support. and it happens to be endangering a lot more lives then ObamaCares.

"Repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens,"
Bachmann suggested Washington should stop the carnage before it's too late.
"Let's love people, let's care about people, let's repeal it now while we can," she said.
