Fracking doesn’t just mean the well pads and all the assorted mess and noise and accidents that surround them. Fracking also means a network of pipes criss-cross our land, criss-cross our county, our state, and our country. Accompanying the pipelines are round-the-clock compressor stations that release benzene and other toxins in the air that have been shown to increase the incidence of asthma in children.(Steingraber Raising Elijah)  And according to a Federal audit these gas lines lack oversight.

We’ve temporarily halted the Tar Sands pipeline, although Romney said last night in the debate he thinks it would be a great idea to start it up again. But we have a pipeline being built right now in New York that will eventually offload frack gas to ship to foreign climes.
