Does that somehow negate the hundreds of chemicals that are "proprietary" that makes up part of the other 10%? Does it mean that natural gas and fracking fluids aren't at risk of contaminating ground water deposits? Does that negate the tens of thousands of people who may be sick or whose wells or house tap water is now unsafe for use?
You pulled a random, completely unrelated factoid from the internet, accused the WA of lacking a technical understanding of the issue while yourself displaying no rebuttal to the points within the resolution, and expect to be taken seriously?
Hydraulic Fracturing fluid is 90% water and sand. It is never going to contaminate ground water, as it is being done at depths far below local water tables.
OOC: As for my random factoid? I spent 25 years in the oil patch, dealing mostly with well stimulation, 70% of which was hydraulic fracturing. As I said, the author took a hot button issue, and tried to draft a resolution round it, while not possessing the technical knowledge. Next time before you pop off, you may want to think about who you are lecturing to....
