Last week in Nebraska, a farmer spoke at a meeting for the Nebraska Oil and Gas Commission, where the board was hearing comments from the community about approving fracking operations in the area. The farmer, who was not named or identified in the video, spoke from experience, as a former employee in the oil and gas industry.

The farmer was concerned about a plan to dump fracking waste water into a disposal well in Sioux County, which will undoubtedly contaminate local water supplies, and possibly even flow into other states.

To illustrate the potential hazards of this plan, the farmer brought in a sample of fracking waste water, and challenged the board members to drink it. When faced with the challenge, the board simply said that they had “no comment.”
