The problem with the articles is that these issues are more about negligence and not about the actual technology.
As a person who supports the technology I am completely fine with more regulation on poor industry practices. The problem with the anti-frac'ing movement in St. Tammany and elsewhere is how uneducated these people are regarding the industry. There are plenty of resources available for the foundation of the technology that has been around for a very long time. The people in an uproar in St. Tammany are complaining about the wrong things and they aren't knowledgeable enough about the operations to target their issue on legit concerns.
In your articles they are referencing environmental spills, most likely poor cementing operations, and poor waste management. All of these things are not direct issues with frac'ing and more a issue with the people doing it or other operations.
