Water tasting saltier? Our water treatment plants are not designed for large scale desalinization, which is itself a very energy intensive and expensive process. Saltwater from the sea, and road salt runoff into our tributaries are causes for concern.

Some of the drilling waste produced by fracking is too thick to re-inject back into the ground. Instead, it sometimes gets spread out over farms and fields... and sometimes elementary schools and other developments get built on top of these fields.

When fracking industry needs to dispose of millions of gallons of toxic wastewater, they inject it underground.
But uncovered documents show that this practice was known not to be safe, for decades. Investigative Journalist Justin Nobel tells the story:
