They should have to face massive fines until they tell us what's in their toxic cocktails. If food companies have to label the ingredients, so should fracking companies.

Kentucky’s fracking waste problem is not an isolated case. The CPI report explains, “the four states in the Marcellus are taking different approaches to the problem; none has it under control. Pennsylvania has increasingly restricted disposal of drilling waste, while West Virginia allows some landfills to take unlimited amounts. Ohio has yet to formalize waste rules, despite starting the process in 2013. New York, which banned fracking, accepts drilling waste with little oversight.”
