Another example of how the anti-fracking environmentalists are wrong. It is amazing to me how these people remain stuck on stupid. They are totally blind and totally unwilling to contemplate the other perspective.

The EPA and the FDA lose again.

[alstewartfan]

Yes, but fracking causes EARTHQUAKES and TIDAL WAVES. You are behind the curve, Dewey.

[ColdOne]

I know fracking is perfectly safe. Know how? The left hates it.

[Zathras]

Its mostly sand and a fluid to keep the sand grains in suspension.

[dfwgator]

Wrong! Dihydrogen Monoxide is a killer. It should be banned.

[Secret Agent Man]

Honestly it depends on whats in the ground where the fraciing is occurring.

You cannot ignore the cases where the water people are drinking after fracking in the area, makes it undrinkable and puts enough combustible gasses as the result of fracking, that they can ignite it.

In these cases again, not the fracking fluid, but what underground trapped gas pockets the fracking releases into well supplies.

[wideminded]

Maybe so, but anyone who represents to the public that a source of water is safe should have to agree that they and their family will drink this water exclusively for a certain period of time.

Environmentalists responded to these studies, saying, “millions of Americans know that fracking contaminates groundwater and for the EPA to report any differently only proves that the greatest contamination from the industry comes from its influence and ownership of our government.”

...

Someone once told Eisenhower that half of all Americans have below average intelligence.

[YogicCowboy]

I do give a frack.
