Where does used hydrofracking solution go?

What happens when millions of gallons of toxic hydrofracking waste gush back up out of the earth after being injected? Where does it go after sitting around in pits for a while? Let’s look to Pennsylvania to see what’s happening there: Gas wells’ leftovers may wash into Ohio

Ithaca Area Poets February Challenge: Marcellus

Ithaca Area Poets writes,

I noticed a theme is on many hearts and minds right now – concerns about hydrofracking in Marcellus shale.

SO, next month (February 12th, 7pm) bring your poem or poems about Fracking (and Marcellus region and clean water)! I am going to try to organize prizes for participants, and possibly we’ll videotape the readings to help with the movement for clean water. If you’re too shy to read them on camera or you can’t come, send them to me ahead of time and someone else will read them for you (please tell me if you want us to say your name or you want to be anonymous)! Also, if you’re willing to bring print copies for me, that would be super. Thanks!
