GOP: Arrest Those Who Fight Fracking

Here, drink this.

Yeah, sure. Fracking is perfectly safe. That’s why you can’t know what exactly is in the secret sauce. From our friends over at Mother Jones:

On Thursday, three Republican state senators introduced a bill that would slap a felony charge on individuals who disclosed confidential information about fracking chemicals. The bill, whose sponsors include a member of Republican party leadership, establishes procedures for fire chiefs and health care providers to obtain chemical information during emergencies. But as the trade publication Energywire noted Friday, individuals who leak information outside of emergency settings could be penalized with fines and several months in prison.
