"Environmental groups have long objected to the practice and say it pollutes the groundwater and kills crops and livestock. They also argue that fracking releases heat-trapping methane gas into the air."

Matt Damon is paid by the UAE to keep the US mired in endless Middle East wars.

Twice the oil, three times the natural gas.
I was going to post this. But you beat me to it.
Well my home town is doing great with the drilling there pretty much completed.
The downtown is completely refurbished....people moving back, industry too..etc...it’s growing again! Just beautiful...
It’s quite amazing how for a time your ccommunity has to endure the trucks etc...the arguing of contracts and who’s going to get what....but in the end it’s a huge jumpstart to communities who were dying....
Despite the “disruption” to a community everybody makes money....I’ve seen businesses increase and grow....housing being built...and all has worked very well.
My home town now is a place to live people would be proud to live in...in fact even some of the drillers plan to relocate there!
Why don't I believe this claim? Because any fracking company that would let valuable methane escape -- rather than trapping it for use or for sale -- would need a new manager and a new business plan.
I know Israel has been discovering similar windfalls, but it would be interesting to know where else on earth these fields are being discovered? The ‘Arab Street’ cannot be happy with these finds.

I see you posted in another thread on this topic today (about the Dakota fields...)
