A storage tank with 300 barrels of crude oil is surrounded by debris from massive flooding that afflicted the region in late 2013, in Weld County, Colorado. A boom in oil and gas drilling across the American West has led to pollution and environmental problems in what were once pristine lands. Traveling rigs go from location to location, drilling down into the shale rock, and are soon followed by pumps that inject a toxic brew of water and chemicals for hydraulic extraction or 'fracking' of oil and gas.
