The problem with fracking is that there is a chance that the chemicals they use in the slurry (which the drillers do not disclose) can contaminate the aquifers.

First off...the oil/gas is trapped in a SHALE which is basically impermeable.

2. The shale layer is down several miles deep....

3. Most of the "chemicals" (water, sand, lubricants, glass beads etc) are pumped out and recycled.

So the chances of surface contamination are zero.

To put it in perspective....

"Chance" is like flipping a coin and having it land on its edge

Here's our Grate Reader in decision making process to show what that looks like:

and my chance of getting re-elected if the coin lands on its edge....OK guys....
