First we need to consider that "fracked natural gas" doesn't exist. A processor handles natural gas, which can have liquids. The plant separates the liquids. They had a spill. The liquids don't "wash as benzene" the condensate liquids carry a small amount of benzene and this may enter the water. Together with the other liquids. I see a lot of ignorance displayed because the public isn't educated properly. I'm convinced this should be taught in high school as part of an environmental protection and safety course. But it's a lot easier to peddle junk and drive people around like sheep if they are uneducated.
