Disclosure of fracking chemicals should be required
 

I encourage the state of Virginia to require disclosure of all chemicals used in fracking, and to make this information available to the public. The nondisclosure rules are devious.  If the industry wants to claim the process and the chemicals are safe, then they need to be forthcoming about what they are doing and what chemicals they are using.
