My main concern is that NO amount of money will protect our water, land and air given all these orphaned wells, abandoned mines, and porosity of shallow unsettled formations due to strip jobs. Environmentally speaking, this is a disaster. How can we trust that flowback will ever be disposed of properly and not where ever it can be hidden. Freshwater is too valuable to be used like it is, in the volumes it is. This process will turn our land and us towards an uncertain future at best. Lets open our eyes.
