Video – Poison in the well

Hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells is contaminating our fresh water supply. It is estimated that 1.7 million wells have been fracked in the U.S., More that 200,000 in Canada, while as many as 2.5 million have been fracked worldwide, and we’re drilling hundreds more per day.

Each fractured oil and gas well is a potential ticking time bomb of human cancers and mutation. In the end, when the shale boom goes bust, and it’ll be much sooner than most think, we’ll have to live with what’s been done to our environment.

In a few short years will we be able to rationalize, to justify the short-term benefits from poisoning our most precious resource, our fresh water?
