Especially with the campaign moving into the NE where this is an issue:

Clinton Vote Against Banning Carcinogen In Water Might Have Political Repercussions

From a link within the article:

MTBE

MTBE, or methyl tertiary butyl ether, was a gasoline additive that was widely used in the 1990s to help refiners comply with clean air standards. Unfortunately, MTBE is highly water soluble, meaning that leaks from underground gasoline tanks spread quickly to water supplies, where it can persist for decades. In addition to making drinking water smell and taste like turpentine, MTBE has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals when inhaled; the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said that it is a likely carcinogen in drinking water as well. It is also expensive to remove; the Association for Environmental Health and Sciences has determined that cleaning up all U.S. contamination would cost between $1 billion and $3 billion. Rural towns with small tax bases can't afford expensive environmental remediation bills that put a huge strain on their municipal budgets.

In June 2005, Clinton voted against an amendment to ban MTBE and require refiners to use 7.5 million gallons of renewable fuels annually by 2012. Biden was one of 70 senators to vote the other way.

Before Congress acted, 25 states had banned MTBE because it contaminated public drinking water supplies. In 2003, under then-Republican Gov. Craig Benson, New Hampshire became the first state to sue 22 oil companies because of MTBE water pollution. In 2013, after the longest trial in state history, a jury found ExxonMobil liable and ordered the oil behemoth to pay $236 million to clean up the pollution.

In Pennsylvania, 46 water systems serving 969,000 people have been affected by MTBE pollution. In 2004, Kathleen A. McGinty, then-secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), testified in favor of a Pennsylvania ban on MTBE. McGinty, now a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate is a Philadelphia native who chaired the White House Council on Environmental Quality and acted as deputy assistant to President Bill Clinton. She was appointed DEP secretary by former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell (a Hillary Clinton supporter) in 2003. In April 2004, McGinty told state lawmakers the extent of MTBE pollution across Pennsylvania:

In 2003, the United States Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey, with the cooperation of DEP, completed a comprehensive evaluation of the extent of MTBE contamination of the Commonwealth's groundwater. The Survey found that 11 [percent] of over 350 "ambient" groundwater samples contained trace levels of MTBE and, in statewide water samples associated with leaking underground storage tanks, 22 [percent] were found to be contaminated with MTBE. While the vast majority of the detections were well below 20 ppb [parts per billion], the Survey found that MTBE contamination of the Commonwealth's groundwater is not the result of freak occurrences, nor is it completely isolated to limited geographic areas.

In tiny Lehman Township in Luzerne County (population 3,508), McGinty said that the EPA spent nearly $3 million between 1993 and 1998 to recover over 10 million gallons of MTBE-contaminated groundwater, provide maintenance and residential carbon filter systems, and provide bottled water. The release affected about 50 residences and a school in the Lehman area. The state then spent another $2.5 million on a new groundwater treatment system, providing operation and maintenance of the treatment system, continuing to maintain residential carbon filter units, and providing bottled water.

MTBE had some strong protectors on Capitol Hill, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas). The lawmaker owned stock in ExxonMobil and MTBE was manufactured in his Texas district.

So do Clinton's actions on these issues speak louder than her words? We will await the results of the upcoming caucuses and primary battles to find out.

With environmental issues (hopefully!) gaining some traction with Sec. Clinton's fingerpointing meltdown, I would hope this gains much more traction. This one story highlights why she is such an awful, untrustworthy candidate. On issue after issue she is on the wrong side due to her financial considerations and then 'evolves' when the spotlight happens to focus on that topic.

Go Bernie. Go Green!
