Full disclosure at least; banning altogether preferred
 

Hydrofracking is an inherently unsafe process that, once started, risks contaminating our water for generations.  At the very least, we must require full disclosure of all chemicals proposed for use in this process, and fully describe all potential risks to those living near any proposed drilling site.  l would prefer that we ban hydrofracking altogether near any populated area.
