February 5, 2015 - 2:05 PM
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Regulators in California, the country's third-
largest oil-producing state, have authorized oil companies to inject
production fluids and waste into what are now federally protected aquifers
more than 2,500 times, risking contamination of underground water supplies
that could be used for drinking water or irrigation, state records show.

"They lie, cheat, and steal without rest."
State officials allowed oil and gas companies to pump nearly three billion
gallons of waste water into underground aquifers that could have been used
for drinking water or irrigation.
Those aquifers are supposed to be off-limits to that kind of activity,
protected by the EPA.

You have no idea what kind of pollution does shale gas fracking process
would cause.
The process basically use high pressure water mixed with sand and chemicals
to break the rock layers to release natural gas. In the process, if it were
to break through any water bearing layers, the chemicals and pollutants
carried along the way would get into the underground aquifer. There is no
process or equipment you can use to control that pollution. And since you
