Fracking wastewater may be more radioactive than researchers previously believed.A new study shows that "commonly used testing methods may underestimate the total radioactivity of wastewater produced by gas wells that use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to tap the Marcellus Shale," according toScience, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The oil and gas industry and its supporters tried their hardest to deny the link between Oklahoma's massive uptick in earthquakes since 2009 and the fracking boom that got underway around the same time - an effort eventually undermined by the state Geological Survey's long-awaited admission that yes, it's " very likely " that wastewater injection wells, used to dispose of fracking's byproduct, are causing the quakes. So desperate was one billionaire oil tycoon to obscure the science, an email uncovered by Bloomberg Business reveals, he tried to get the university researchers studying the fracking-earthquake connection fired.

Reuters: Oilman Harold Hamm, CEO of Continental Resources Inc., told a University of Oklahoma dean last year that scientists studying links between oil drilling and earthquakes should be dismissed, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. Bloomberg, citing emails obtained through a public records request, said Hamm indicated he wanted to see some scientists at the Oklahoma Geological Survey, which is based at the university, let go. Scientists have said the reinjection of drilling and fracking wastewater...
