Fracking Water Treatment Issues

I found this article interesting, concerning and disturbing:

Researchers make concerning discovery in mussels found living near former wastewater plant — here's how it could affect the food chain

If any people in the area rely on the river for water or the local plants and animals for food, they would also be exposed.

Beware of the source. Here's the final paragraph:

"Research such as this study helps legislators craft new regulations for the disposal of wastewater and for fracking itself. California is banning fracking, and gas and oil companies are under pressure to abandon the practice.
Individuals can help — and lower their energy bills — by supporting green energy sources such as solar."

I read both the article and the article from E and E news that was referenced by Yahoo.

While I’m far from fracking’s biggest supporter, the article read like it was a 6th graders book report and lacked any pertinent information to the actual study by Penn State.

Considering the issues with freshwater mussels I found the story interesting.

Energy conservation is not new or edgy.

I'm simply pointing out that the article is not written by an unbiased writer. No impartial reporter would have included that last paragraph.
