Frack off:

Oil and gas service companies injected tens of millions of gallons of diesel fuel into onshore wells in more than a dozen states from 2005 to 2009, Congressional investigators have charged. Those injections appear to have violated the Safe Water Drinking Act, the investigators said in a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday.

Let's see if the oil companies get off with with feigned frowns and cutting checks to both parties.

Of course, per the GOP, there's nothing wrong with this since it involves giant corporations making even bigger profits, as our Founding Fathers intended.

Early yet, but the NC GOP has sounded pretty reasonable about fracking so far.

True enough, Ed. Sometimes it's hard to resist a chance to be snarky.

So I guess it's easier to strike oil when you know where you put the oil?

Seriously, diesel fuel is the least of our fracking concerns as they won't even tell us what other chemicals they're using or how widespread the practice is.
