Fracking Blowout in Texas Causes Huge Dead Zone (PHOTOS)
The article reports on a fracking well blowout on May 19, 2015, near Karnes City in south Texas's Eagle Ford shale, at a well operated by EnCana. The blowout sprayed chemicals, left about a quarter-mile of dead vegetation, released an unknown amount of methane, and led to about 20 families being evacuated for more than three weeks. The author, a Greenpeace USA researcher writing in HuffPost's contributor section, argues that residents of heavily fracked areas should have a say in how the industry operates, and cites Denton's voter-approved fracking ban.
