Please Preserve fresh water by stopping hydraulic fracturing!
Hydraulic fracturing or fracking takes thousands of gallons of clean water and contaminates it with hundreds of industrial chemicals many are known to cause cancer to extract natural gas. The fracturing wells' concrete cracks and leaks this deadly toxic water into our aquifers, streams, rivers, lakes and wells. The polluted chemical laden water is kept in open pits that are leak prone and the toxic chemical water evaporates The hundreds of uncontainable deadly chemicals which cause cancer, make the land to toxic to raise livestock, or farm. Once valuable land becomes so deadly toxic that it becomes worthless when livestock start to die, crops are toxic or do not grow, and people get sick. The land air and water will be forever poisoned by fracturing.
Much of the natural gas is forced out of the ground directly into the atmosphere without capture contributing to catastrophic climate change. Recent studies have shown radioactivity from Fracking sites seeping into our limited fresh clean water supply. 2005 Halliburton loop hole exempts Fracking from the clean air & water act.
Other countries have been able to extract natural gas without destroying water's life giving purity, poisoning their lands, and releasing climate change gas. We should do the same.
Preventing Hydraulic frackturing is essential to keeping TN livable.

Why is this important?
Do not frack up TN and other states' water, air, and land
keep hydraulic fracturing or fracking out out of TN and hold active extraction sites until safer, cleaner extraction methods can be implemented.
