Explaining that he has ties to the oil industry and that he is still on the fence about fracking, Osbourne explained fluid dynamics to the board while pouring out three cups of the sludgy water that could result from spills or from seeping into the water table.
Referring to earlier testimony, Osbourne said, “So you told me this morning that you would drink this water,” as he indicated the cups.
“So would you drink it? Yes or no?” he asked, only to be met by silence by the stone-faced group before a member explained they wouldn’t be answering any questions.
“Oh, you can’t answer any questions? Well my answer would be ‘no.’ I don’t want this in the water that will travel entirely across this state in three days,” Osborne said. “There is no doubt there will be contamination. There will be spills.

Why don't they just Frack right off?

Before I get flamed, I am against fracking and would support him in a heartbeat. With that said...

Of course they're not going to drink it. Anyone can poor brown liquid into a cup.
I can poop into a cup and tell people I want the feces removed from my tap water. Will that work?
While his point is understood, it was a little flimsy.

With all due respect to both of you folks, according to the T&S's (as I've read them) it is OK to post the same story in 2 different forums. This allows discussions on multiple aspects for the same story and not "polluting" (pun intended) each others threads.
Complaining about it publicly, IMO, is beneath us all here at ATS.
