I would hardly call almost 5,000 gallons od chemicals 41% of which are known Cancer causers and the rest will turn soil and water to salt, kill the topsoil, stay in the ground for years, poison dams when the floods hit or by leaching....&,000 pages of academic research prove me right. Message to ALL GAS Companies: Get it right or get out.   Pete Williams. I have never read so much right wing bullshit in my entire life.

There has NEVER, in the 60-year history of hydraulic fracturing including hundred of thousands of wells, been one single proven incident of groundwater contamination. This was established in the video embedded in the article. A typical municipal water well goes no deeper than 1,000 feet. A typical gas shale well goes to 7,500 feet. State regulations all over the country follow an industry practice of sealing off the well with a steel-and-concrete casing at a point below the deepest level of known aquifers in the area - so there can be no intermingling with what's in the well from the sources of groundwater. There is typically 6,000 feet of rock between the two. 6,000 feet of rock is a pretty good barrier. The commenter's post belies a disturbing stupidity and Luddite attitude that permeates left-wing thought. This deficiency would be harmless if restricted to hairdressers and sanitation workers, but unfortunately it has escaped up the food chain into the ranks of those with power over their fellow man. This must be remedied before America is rendered completely uncompetitive on the international economic stage.

The "common household chemicals" are safe when only a few pounds are being talked about, but how many tons are to be used for this venture? This reeks of the same excrement that the coal industry has been spewing in regard to mythical "clean coal". Coal ash, nuclear waste, fracking waste (there's an apt name): toxic sludge is good for you! We're living in an Orwellian nightmare. Everything counts in large amounts.
