This Is What Fracking Really Looks Like

This article isn&#x27;t anything more than a collection of NIMBY quotes and emotive pictures. It doesn&#x27;t really have any substance.<p>There are fair criticisms of hydraulic fracturing, but I&#x27;ve found that most content outside of scientific journals &#x2F; EPA reports to be incredibly overblown and very inaccurate.

I recommend this BBC documentary which tries to shed some light on the matter. Fracking: The New Energy Rush - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjgzrmoLc7g" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mjgzrmoLc7g</a>

Two days ago I watched &quot;Promised Land&quot; which deals with this issue, but I thought it was just hyperbole when they were talking about dying animals and people setting water on fire.

Whats happened to good regulatory frameworks in America? Was the breakdown of industry regulation a Bush thing or does it pre-date that? Seems to be a similar theme across Health, Food, Petroleum.

Wait a damn minute here. The EPA came down and even tested the damn waters (*wells) in these areas. Methane had been coming out of the ground before these people were born and now they are saying something? Are these the very people that don&#x27;t own the land that fracking is leased on?

This article should be #1 on HN right now but has been disappeared.<p>Shenanigans has been called.

False,
