Allegheny County Republican Pushes Natural Gas-Fueled Buses, In Campaign Spot

We’ve found another exam­ple of nat­ural gas mak­ing its way into a polit­i­cal cam­paign. This time, it’s a fac­tor in the race for Allegheny County Executive.

Repub­li­can D. Raja promises to imple­ment nat­ural gas-fueled buses in this com­mer­cial, which we first spot­ted over at Early Returns.

    I sub­mit­ted a ques­tion about the “pro­duced water” or waste water that comes back up with the gas.
    Can this fracked water be fil­tered, dis­tilled, or treated so it can be made safe for human con­sump­tion?
    It is my under­stand­ing that once you mix alco­hol, ben­zene, xylene, ester, glycerine’s with water, you can’t sep­a­rate them by any means.  It is what is known as anisotropic mix­tures, which can’t be sep­a­rated by any known means, chlo­ri­na­tion, acti­vated char­coal fil­ters.  And we are talk­ing about 4 mil­lion gal­lons of water each time a well is fracked.  So how is this safe, clean and economical?
