Fight ensues over fracking at brewery’s water supply
Here in Oklahoma, we know all about fracking — the process of shooting water and chemicals into the earth to extract natural gas. A popular brewery in New York state is learning about fracking as well, but not in a way they want. Brewery Ommegang says that a company’s plans to lease out land for drilling at their local water source could force them out of business. The brewery fears that if the water is contaminated by residual chemicals from the fracking process, they’d have to find a new source for the more than 1 million gallons of water they use each year. Whether or not fracking is bad for the environment is a topic that has been under much debate. You can read more about the brewery’s contentions at this link.
