The truth about fracking? An oilfield engineer seeks to reassure you 13 years ago
Looks like a paid-for article to exonerate fracking.
It mentions only at one point the 'fracking fluids', and in order to present then as if they are harmless, it says:
1. "gelling agents (used in ice cream)" 2. "friction reducers (used in cosmetics)" 3. "acid to anti-bacterial agents (used in disinfectants)" (note the trick to exonerate "acid" by attaching the anti-bacterial agents, so it then mentions 'used in disinfectants' as if those contain acids as well...)
If I were to make my own fracking fluid, do I mix together my disinfectant, my ice-cream and my mascara?
Just another shameful article, probably paid-for, by the fracking industry.
