"The documents reveal that the wastewater, which is sometimes hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water, contains radioactivity at levels higher than previously known, and far higher than the level that federal regulators say is safe for these treatment plants to handle."
Complications complications lead to lamentations. Although this is hardly news, why is it that the more energy we produce the more we need to fix the problems that the production process creates?
I feel like the industry has stalled to the point where we are using more extreme methods of production such as deep water drilling or fragging and miles of pipe when alternatives are cheaper and safer. Say what you will about wind power and the noise, micro-climate changes, etc, but how many turbines can be made from one NG pipe line? How much energy can be saved through increased efficiency? Frustrations!
