'Monster' Fracking Wells Guzzled 3.3 Billion Gallons Of Water In Drought-Stricken Areas, Environmental Report Finds
11/18/2014

More than 3.3 billion gallons of water was used to drill 261 “monster wells” in the 3 1/2-year period from April 2010 to December 2013, according to the Tuesday report by Environmental Working Group, a Washington research and advocacy group. About two-thirds of those fracking operations were in drought-stricken areas in Texas, Pennsylvania and Colorado.

“The amount of water used in these wells is staggering,” Bill Walker, a co-author of the report and EWG consultant, said in a statement. “The water used to frack a single monster well could meet the water needs of a drought-stricken county in Texas twice over.”

1. Money money money

The asses that own these corporations only care about money. They don't live there, don't give a shit about health problems caused by their corporations.

Then we have Germany leading the world in clean energy. American people need to wake the hell up, but obviously after the election, that's not gonna happen!

Facism has come to stay I guess.

2. Germany is amazing, isn't it newfie. I've such respect for them.

I'm of German descent, and when I was young, I was ashamed of that because of Hitler.

I'm really proud now, and wished I lived there!
