10. "Half-life" of many gas fracking and coal toxins is ***FOREVER***

A toxin is a toxin is a toxin.

There's nothing special about radioactive toxins.

What's the difference if your cancer is attributed to gas fracking waste in your drinking water, or diesel engine soot in your air, or very very much less likely, radioactive cesium that escaped from Fukushima?

What the accident at Fukushima didn't do is incinerate eight living people. Filthy gas kills people frequently (I refuse to call it natural gas as that is really fucked up marketing term used to greenwash for all sorts of nasty things.)
