I heard recently that because of water shortages in Cali, that almond trees are being watered using "fracking water". That stuff is poisonous. Anyone know?
Why would it be poisonous? Got facts?I heard recently that because of water shortages in Cali, that almond trees are being watered using "fracking water". That stuff is poisonous. Anyone know?
Got it! We'll get right on it soon! Thanks for the warnings.In New York state fracking has been outlawed because of the poisonous effect in Pennsylvania in ground water wells. From what I hear the fracking water has salt and other chemicals to make the rock open up to release the gas. How much of that poisonous water gets into the almonds is a question to know, but fracking water is not drinkable if you care about your health. Normally these hazardous chemicals are disposed in very deep injection wells. Oklahoma and Texas have polluted the ground with many of these injection wells. Don't they care or is the petro industry that powerful. I do care about my health!
Guessing the nice folks living in NY, use a fair amount of "stuff" made from crude.
