The main point to this article is that fracking is a problem. Not sure of how to handle millions of gallons of contaminated water. There are 3 options for waste disposal in The Department of Environmental Conservations. These 3 options are..
— Truck the millions of gallons of wastewater produced per well to a treatment facility and either discharge the treated water into a river or reuse it for another drilling project;
— Ship it out of state for deep-well injection disposal; or
— Recycle it on-site for drilling multiple wells. The authors arguement is that we are left with solid landfilling. This author didn't use graphs or pictures, a lot of text was used.
I agree with this article because even if we use left over water we are left with landfilling solid water. But then again I don't agree with some parts to this article because a lot of money is being wasted to make the water better, but then once again it's only making the water better by putting in treatments even though it is expensive. 1.3 billion to 1.7 billion is being used for treatment.
