Watch the TED talk T. Boone Pickens gives which I linked. He talks about fracking thousands of wells in the largest aquifer in America (Ogalalla) with out a single issue.

Frack away.
Pure bull shite from the libs from their propaganda machines.
Let's go to court NOW so the oil and gas companies can own their asses.

Why do you care anyway. Any problems from fracking/frilling/global warming will never be realized in our lifetime, or the next 3 generations.
Who cares.

I'm not sure what you're talking about because I read a blog on the internet that said fracking causes babies to be born with autism.

I'm amazed that there are people that will watch (any) documentary and gobble it down as if the content portrayed is gospel.
There are two sides to every story, but people fail to realize that.

The horror of fracking at 11000 feet, which is 5,000-7,000 feet lower than the water sources they're talking about!!!!!

There you go again, bringing that logic into an argument with liberals.
Don't get me started on this fricking Matt Damon/Jim Halpert movie. What kind of landman (called "corporate salesman" in the movie) just tells a landowner he'll be a millionaire? I sure as shite never have.

Nevermind that the aquifers have multiple, thick layers of cement poured and set before they even think about doing their perforations, let alone fracking.

There was another documentary created to counter Gasland that barely saw the light of day because the liberals who control the film industry squashed it. I can't think of the name right now.
ETA it could be this one.

My geology professor was in that one. He's highly involved in geology as a whole, not just petroleum geology, and is pretty highly regarded within the petroleum and environmental industries and has squashed every bit of this fracking nonsense since day one.
It's just a shame the truth is never as loud as what the people with money want you to hear.
Eta: I'm talking about Truthland
Gary Hanson was my professor

Every single well file that I've looked at (probably close to a thousand now in 5 years of work) has had a casing schematic, either hand drawn or digitally made. They show the ground water, and they show how thick each layer of casing is at each depth.
shite like Gasland just pisses me off at how uninformed and fictional the entire thing is.
You have EXPERTS with PhDs telling you it's IMPOSSIBLE to pollute groundwater by fracking, yet they ignore them and interview a bunch of tards with 4 teeth between them who have their water lines hooked up to gasoline tanks lighting their sinks on fire.
