Ken Salazar says we need federal fracking rules

In this article Ken Salazar says we need federal fracking rules. Now along with this argument also come detractors of such a program. These detractors are using the old states right issue to further their purposes.

Now what is not so apparent here is that I believe the federal fracking rules would also require big oil to release the data on what their fracking fluid contains. Of course those on the right are saying that it is a propriety 'blend' if you will. They further contend that releasing this proprietary blend would go against them.

Well, the way I see it is they should have to release the information on their proprietary blend-- after all this proprietary blend is what they are polluting out waters with. The thing to keep in mind is if they should release this 'stuff' into our groundwater, it could potentially contaminate said groundwater for decades or even centuries to come. So if for no other reason than that, I believe they should release this information to us, the public so that we all know what they are polluting our ground waters with!
