Fact: Creeks, streams and water supplies are being sucked dry for use in the fracking.

And in Pennsylvania, water supplies re-generate quickly.

Fact: Water supplies are being contaminated from run-off and water table seapage.

Please provide documentation other than anti-fracking propaganda.

Fact: Local roads are being destroyed because they weren't built to handle the heavy trucks that are now constantly on the road.

A nice problem to have in a down economy. Those wells will provide far more tax revenues than the road damage caused to drill them.

Fact livestock are being condemed because they "might" have consumed run-off from fracking operations.

There's that 'might' again.

Fact: The gas boom has had a huge effect on the region, most of it very good but the downside cannot be ignored and must be dealt with.

Yeah, but succumbing to left-wing anti-fracking agitprop is not the way to deal with it.
