"The oil industry has no other plan for its waste other than injecting it in the ground. Well, that isn't really true. Now in Texas they want to just dump it in the rivers."

"The water could be reused for irrigating crops or could be poured into streams and rivers in the state."
Now you might think that is ok as if they dumped anything toxic in a river they would be held liable.
So the oil company is above the law and can poison at will. While this has always been the case, now they have it on the books.
