Hydraulic Fracturing/Hydrofracking/Fracking

I am not against it, however at this time and based on the current research, hydraulic fracturing is a poor choice for our Valley and our State, it produces extreme amounts of waste-water which cannot be treated through current water treatment facilities. Until further research and better practices are set into place it is of too high of a risk and will waste the much needed water that our people and agricultural industries require. We need potable water not waste-water.
