>The CEO of Halliburton just held a new conference a few days ago where he drank fracking fluid. It is not dangerous and nasty chemicals if you can drink it...

Dave Lesar, the CEO didn't drink the new fracking fluid, he had an underling do it. Additionally, I damn sure don't consider the CEO of Halliburton a trustworthy source.

Even if the "new" fracking fluid is "safer", fracking releases heavy metals which then make their way into groundwater.
