Colorado gov drank fracking fluid to prove it's both safe and tasty
2/14/2013Colorado Gov.John Hickenlooper wants to assure Americans that fracking fluid is safe. Hickenlooper enjoyed a glass of CleanStim at his office with Halliburton's Dave Lesar in 2011: "We did drink it around the table, almost ritual-like, in a funny way," Hickenlooper said. Hickenlooper's admission was part of his pro-hydraulic fracturing testimony in front of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources earlier this week. Sen. Al Franken "asked whether the experience was part of some bizarre occult practice," but Hickenlooper denied it. "There were no religious overtures," the governor said. [Source]
