And those problems are most likely due to improper casing or contamination from surface pits into groundwater. Pennsylvania needs to beef up its regulatory staff and look at other states such as North Dakota for best practices in regulating oil and gas activity.

Like I said, adequate regulation can take care of this problem. But the anti-fracking crowd makes fracking out to be something particularly new and sinister - when it has been around and used for decades.

Well if there’s a way to do it that doesn’t contaminate groundwater or render someone’s well undrinkable, fine.

So nobody in North Dakota lost their well water because they just know how to do it right there? Who has to put the casings in, the people doing the fracking, or the guy who wants his well water to remain the way it is?
