What's Fracking?

FRACKING is a method of gas extraction that involves injecting secret, highly-toxic chemicals deep underground to fracture rock formations. Fracking has been linked to over 1,000 incidents of groundwater contamination across the US, including many cases where people can actually ignite their tap water!  The process is currently unregulated due to numerous exemptions in federal laws, and is a threat to our public health and environment.
