Holey Frack: Utah is Starting to Look Like Swiss Cheese

Read the rest of Holey Frack: Utah is Starting to Look Like Swiss Cheese Fracking is a big, rising industry in the United States both in scale and the sheer amount of landscape  that stands to change. Utah in particular is starting to look more like Swiss cheese as it continues to  open up more oil and natural gas fracking sites. To show just how devastating fracking can be,  Daily Kos put together a small batch of Google Earth images showcasing immensely large and  eerily multicolored waste pools of some fracking sites. The image you see above shows just one  of the sites that is nearly a mile wide on each side. The scale of the pools is also comically large  compared to nearby truck containers. via INHABITAT
