for every link you post bemoaning the big bad fracking monster....I can post a hundred links to SCIENTIFIC studies saying exactly the opposite. hell, we could play that game all day.
as far as energy companies dumping waste, it has NOTHING to do with this discussion. 100% irrelevant to fracking a well. if they were found to illegally dump any form of waste, whether its hydrocarbons, frack fluid, or contaminated mud...they should be held to the highest extent of the law. heck, your fed govt has been illegally dumping nuclear pollution for 30 yrs and now you have a conscience?
out of the thousands....tens of thousands of wells that are fracked each year...one or two MIGHT....MIGHT leak methane into a drinking reservoir? hell, it's not like we're fracking a field of roses...it's fricking hydrocarbons!!!! for pete's sake....it's been down there for 10mm years adjacent to their freaking drinking water and now people worry that it might come in contact with their drinking water...HELLO, Mcfly.
it's a ridiculous argument, if that's the case let's shut down all forms of energy production and let people pay $10 a gal for gas then they'll be begging us to frack.
fracking is no more than pressuring up a hydrocarbon zone with soaps, gels and proppant...and yes every once in a while acids. if people think it can transmit from 2 miles below the earth into their drinking water at 25 foot...well, tell 'em to stick a fricking tap on their faucet and harvest all the oil and methane. tell 'em to watch out for the H2S stuff.
