Alternate Wastewater Treatment Methods

In researching this subject, I discovered an article featured in OilOnLine which provides an interesting twist on conventional fracking techniques.

First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Fossil fuel-based industries and the products they are used to create are not going away in our lifetimes. Not in our children’s lifetimes. Likely not ever. That is not to say, however, that their use cannot be curtailed. Environmentalists are working 24/7/365 to achieve this and, to a certain degree, are succeeding. This…
