Good article, but it only seems to present the positive. There are some problems with fracking such as natural gas ending up in water wells, etc. Bigger issue to me is that once the gas and oil are gone, they’re gone. It makes you wonder if the people living there and localities are preparing for that day, or simply spending like drunks who found some money in a gutter.
On balance though I think fracking is great. Domestic energy.
Sorry, not one case where that has happened. Please don't confuse the Eco-lies with naturally occurring shallow methane entering the water table. This natural occurrence has been happening long before there was a United States. Do an internet search for towns named "Burning Springs".
