And I am not confident we have a good handle on what it actually does to the ground water yet.
Doesn't the fracking take place far below the ground water? That's my understanding of it. There is a drill-hole that goes through the ground-water level but the actual fracking is done many thick layers of rock below that. No?

The reports are the reports and the reports are that the employment forecasts were bogus. No doubt a single state may increase employment in the short term by a few thousand, but not a quarter of a million, and not 50,000. Ten thousand in the short term with maybe a couple thousand long term would be closer to the truth.

You’re preaching to the choir here. I’m familiar with fracking from my days in Texas and know the current turmoil is a bunch of treehugging BS. I didn’t realize it went back to the late 40’s though
