re: Anti-Fracking Hysteria Hits St. Tammany Parish

Sure, I'm not disputing that. Nor am I saying the fracking boom is a bad thing. But it brings some environmental and quality of life issues. One side probably exaggerates the problems, while the other side looks the other way and tends to downplay the legitimate issues.

North Dakota is unable to effectively regulate its oil boom, in part because it's gotten so big so fast, in part because there's so much money involved, and with money comes corruption. So among other things, what comes of that are these phantom waste dumpers with no way of finding out who they are, and not much in the way of enforcement even if they do identify them.
