We've been fracking for a 100 years. every well drilled is fracked in some way shape or form. Only idiots are against fracking.

Awful lot of idiots who own an awful lot of land and are very successful ranchers in New Mexico then..... cause everyone I ever spoke to, and it is a sizable number, despise fracking and the oil industry in general.

Most of their issues deal with the number of people it takes to produce oil.....these aren’t what you’d call people persons....they thrive in New Mexico because they are hermits at heart and the oil field is teeming with people when oil prices are up. They also tend to be very conservative which means to conserve.....especially the land and water that sustains them. But screw the people who live in the oil patch, who do those idiots think they are???? They ought to know that people 1000 miles away know better than those on site....
