DeSmogCAST 10: California Fracking Waste, Keystone Climate Impacts and Energy East Pipeline

Series: DeSmogCAST
In this episode of DeSmogCAST our team discusses an ongoing investigation into hundreds of aquifers in California that may have been contaminated with fracking waste.ย 
ย 
We also discuss a letter submitted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the State Department which gives new weight to concerns the proposed $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline, destined to carry crude from the Alberta oilsands to export facilities along the Gulf of Mexico, will have significant climate impacts.
ย 
Finally we discuss the Energy East pipeline, a massive project currently proposed by TransCanada, the same company behind Keystone.ย
