As far as I know fraking has been going on for decades,without any major problems.It seems that once it became an alternative to coal which is definitely polluting, we suddenly hear all the environmentalists jumping on the band wagon to, ‘stop fracking’.
When will we finally get some reasonableness in our discussions rather than these crazy folks who want to stop anything and everything that is not wind or solar?
It would be wonderful if we could survive on wind and solar,but we can’t,at least not now.
Rather than yelling about fracking; why not keep a close control over it to insure that it’s done without causing any damage.We do have rules and laws that supposedly protect us from accidents.That’s why we have the EPA
Let’s stop all this manic activity and look at the alternatives.If we continue to say no to everything except wind and solar, we’ll be back living in caves.
A little rationality goes a long way.
Cheers Duke

Both Lisa Jackson, chief of the Federal EPA, and John Hanger, past head of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, have conducted extensive surveys on the impact that fracking has had on our drinking water supplies. Both have stated that no case of drinking water contamination has been attributable to fracking.
Over the past six years there have been more than 3,000 gas and oil wells drilled in Pennsylvania using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing and, of course, many times that number across the nation.
I’m sure you’ve watched the video “Gasland.” May I recommend that you also watch “Truthland”?

I will reiterate what Julie Huntsman said:

If Andy thinks his future is in gas drilling, it may not turn out to be the future he hoped for…see the video for a glimpse of the Gas Devil’s coming nightmare.
