Hydrofracking & Radioactivity

This is pretty bizarre.  Marvin Resnikoff is fear mongering about the radioactivity associated with hydrofracking.  First, he makes the ridiculous comparison between fracking brine and drinking water. 

Marvin, guess what?  No one is drinking the fracking brine. 

He laments about the pipes with the internal scale buildup.  These can be sent to any number of waste disposal sites.  Not a big deal.  Unless one wants to manufacture a controversy....a manufacturoversy.

He then compares an EPA standard for clean-up of radium-226 of 15 pCi/g to the internal scale of pipes of 1,300 pCi/g. 

Hey, Marvin....no one is going to farm inside a pipe.  No one is going to build a house inside a pipe.  There's a difference between a pipe and general land use.

Get a fracking life, Marvin.
