"The Halliburton Loophole is a carte-blanche exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act for an emergent
technique called fracking. A form of extraction dating back to the Civil War (a subsequent version, in the
1960s, used subterranean nukes to fracture rock), when miners used nitroglycerin to blow holes in oil-
soaked caves, fracking has since evolved into a brute but nimble method for blasting oil and gas deposits
that couldn't be recovered by conventional derricks, at least not at a rate that made them profitable."
