Local Nebraska man shows up with fracking fluid to ask the commission if they would drink it themselves.

No one says they would drink fracking fluid.

Yeah I’m an ardent environmentalists and I can appreciate the showmanship in these videos but things like urine are safe to drink - but if after saying that, someone handed me a jug of unlabeled urine I’d probably pass too. “Safe” doesn’t mean palatable or enjoyable or anything. (Not that I think 99% of fracking fluid is remotely safe)
