Frac FLUID

Note that the post doesn't read Frack Water, which is what the industry has successfully named it!

The Safe Water Drinking Act requires drillers to obtain a permit to use diesel fuel in a mixture of water, brine and sand that they inject into the ground in the fracking process. However, diesel is the only substance for which drillers must seek a permit: http://www.ewg.org/files/EWG-2009drillingaroundthelaw.pdf

It's not water folks. Let's change this label so we can debate it with more teeth.
