The big difference is that fracking isn’t dumping water onto superheated rock causing the water to flash to steam. (Which creates some serious pressure)

I'm a licensed boiler mechanic. Water by volume is more explosive than gasoline when instantly converted to superheated steam. 1ml of water instantly becomes 1,110ml of steam.

I can't even do the math on 26 million gallons of water converted to steam. What's 26 million gallons times 1,100?
