Across #Texas and #Oklahoma, journalist Saul Elbein says #fracking companies have been spreading their potentially #radioactive, #PFAS filled solid waste on farmland and near communities, largely without scrutiny, for decades.
Saul sees this as a modern-day #SilentSpring: a slow-moving, mostly invisible contamination story hiding in plain sight, one that will only become undeniable once until the damage is already done.

Multiple frackers have told me they believe (the corporate propaganda) that their special drilling fluids are mostly silicon and benign. Same simole minds as the many petro workers that deny climate heating. Intelligence and critical thought appear to be seriously harmed by petrochemical paycheques.
@lisagetspolitik unfortunately has been happening for over 20 years in the US and Canada. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt16117058/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
