Looks like this planet is just about fracked

Under a new law, doctors in Pennsylvania can access information about chemicals used in natural gas extraction, but they won't be able to share it with their patients. A provision buried in the law is drawing scrutiny from the public health and environmental community, who argue that it will "gag" doctors who want to raise concerns related to oil and gas extraction with the people they treat and the general public. In other words, companies must disclose the identity and amount of any chemicals used in fracking fluids to any health professional that requests that information in order to diagnosis or treat a patient that may have been exposed to a hazardous chemical. But the provision in the new bill requires those health professionals to sign a confidentiality agreement stating that they will not disclose that information to anyone else - not even the person they're trying to treat. This doesn't make sense because doctors should be able to share that info with their patients. The public have a right to know which chemicals are used in that wretched operation, and there is good reason to be curious about exactly what's in those fluids. A 2010 congressional investigation revealed that several fracking companies had used 32 million gallons of diesel products, which include toxic chemicals like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, in the fluids they inject into the ground. Low levels of exposure to those chemicals can trigger acute effects like headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness, while higher levels of exposure can cause cancer. That's all the more reason why people shouldn't mess up our planet like that. There's already enough oil and gas just waiting to pollute the air.
