As a water scarcity crisis looms over New Mexico, fracking operations in the region are using up large volumes of water and in turn, producing millions of gallons of fracking fluid that contains toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and radioactive matter. Now, officials are considering recycling that toxic cocktail for agriculture and other uses.

In the decades long fight for a cleaner environment, we’ve been fighting a losing battle. The sad truth is, our laws are designed to accommodate pollution rather than prevent it. People feel powerle...There's a fundamental problem with our regulatory framework:
"Government does whatever they want to do, and at the end of the process, they say, ‘Okay, let’s think about the environment.’ At that point, it’s too late.
