Industry claims they can water down the millions of gallons of toxic chemicals in frack fluid until they are harmless.
I guess the Texas Legislature thinks watering down also works with disclosure bills. The much touted HB 3328 Texas Disclosure bill that was supposed to set some kind of national standard is now so watered down that no one but industry will mistake it for setting any kind of national precedent.
There is a lot of hype going through the internet today with calls from some environmental groups asking members to call in support of this bill. You can read my take on it with excerpts from an Inside EPA article on EARTHblog.
