Texas Government and citizens should pay more attention to fracking. It is not well regulated and there are risks that have not been considered. It seems that people are not well informed either. According to The Guardian most of the research available has been linked to big energy companies. It seems as if the government knows how it affects the quality of life and just ignores it.
Rolling Stone magazine published some photographs of victims of fracking in Pennsylvania. They show how this family needs to buy gallons of water so they can shower, wash their hands, and of course, drink it. They have to drive once a week to buy jugs of pure water because the tap water is tested positive with poisonous chemicals. This case might be outside of Texas but I bet there is people going through the same struggle in Texas.
I think people should spread the word and get informed. They should demand clear and precise information about where and how is fracking taking place. If the citizens do not take action, deaths caused by drilling and fracking operations will keep escalating.
