#ProducedWater is salty, toxic, and doesn’t belong in Texas surface water bodies. TX Legislators & TCEQ are discussing its use for water needs - but at what cost?

Join us Monday, Feb. 10 @ 6:30 PM as water engineer Dan Mueller unpacks these questions.

Under Darby’s bill, companies that sell the water can’t be held responsible for the consequences if someone else uses the water.

(continued)
Oil companies protected ahead of selling fracking water
At least four companies say they are prepared to treat the water well enough to be released into rivers in West Texas. Environmental groups say the state is moving too fast.

It does not, for instance, prove that fracking fluid is not harmful, or that it is not toxic. It just means that it was not toxic enough to kill a Colorado governor instantly.

exerpt from the vice article linked in this post. https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-governor-of-colorado-drank-halliburtons-fracking-fluid-for-some-reason/ You see, there's a lot of talk of late about forcing drilling companies to tell the public what sorts of toxic chemicals are contained in the cocktails they're pumping through aquifers and near groundwater stores. Someone got this clearly anti-American idea that people ought to have a right to know whether toxic chemicals are being used extensively in their neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the companies don't want to share, because if those whiny people knew what kind of stuff was in their water, they'd probably get all complain-y. Also, those mixtures might very well turn out to be illegal.
