In any case, the movie "Gasland" really brought it all about, and it's basically full of panic-rhetoric. The whole "it sets your faucets on fire!" bullshit was debunked by the ACTUAL WATER COMPANY IN QUESTION who stated that normal methane buildup was the cause for that single, isolated incident. Yet everyone worried about fracking always immediately bleats "AW MY GAWSH IT SAWTS AWR HAWSES AWN FAWR!" They're not the only one who has observed that behavior though and you are not exactly an unbiased source here. I'd like to see the actual studies so I can make my own mind otherwise I'm going with the literal video demonstration and independent study commissioned by the government instead of taking some guys word on the internet, no offense. There's also been some studies commissioned related to the long term effects on the earth itself and instead of really waiting for those to come in it seems like everyone just went balls deep without really taking a minute to think if this was a good idea for anything except the economy. I'm about the farthest thing from a nature lover but the past has shown us that we need to carefully consider our actions because the economy like everything else, depends on the stability of the planets weather, ecosystems, etc. - *DADES* - This is a signature of my name, enjoy!
