They've been fracking the hell out of us here in North Central Texas (Barnett Shale) with no problem. In fact I think this was one of the areas where extensive horizontal hydraulic fracturing was pioneered. I live in a semirural, mixed in with residential, area with some streams, some agriculture (cattle, hayfields) and various other mixed land usage. There are fracking wells all over the place, and no real problems.
It's pretty much only the hippie leftists down in Austin, and the occassional fear mongering journalist, pitching the horror stories.

What about the radioactive waste from NORM?
