WTF? Poisoning our Water in the Name of Energy Profits!
All in the name of profits!
Water Number
: 77 billion barrels of contaminated “produced water” were generated worldwide in 2000 by oil and gas operations. This estimate comes from a 2003 Journal of Petroleum Technology article by Z. Khatib and P. Verbeek. In recent years this volume has increased as more and more gas is produced from marginal fields like the Marcellus Shales in Pennsylvania and the Barnett Shales in Texas and the Hilliard-Baxter-Mancos Shales in Wyoming. This water has begun to cause more and more health and environmental problems.
It’s not like this just came up on us!
We have been letting big business overule concerns about health and now we are all having to pay the price for it. From birth defects from our water supply, BPA, atrazine, arsenic and chloramines, it would seem we have traded dollars over people.
It doesn’t have to be that way, but you do have to be pro-active with the water you drink and bath with. Whether you decide to go with a whole house water filtration system or just start with either an under the sink water filter, do something to insure your family is not exposed to these health hazards.
