I guess I’m an enviro wacko homo communist.

Fracking uses nasty chemicals that have gotten into the local well water on too many occasions. It is a real concern.

And before you flame me I don’t think fracking causes earthquakes or is a technology we learned from crashed UFOs.

We can read that headline claim in any liberal publication, do you have anything meaningful to back it up?

Here’s an example from here, in PA.

Ruined wells as a result of resource extraction is routine in this area. Especially bad is strip mining, rarely does anyone win compensation as a result of these activities.
As in the Gulf Oil Spill - failure to follow SOP will result in problems. Regulation, inspection, fines and license suspension are a necessary part of the process.

As for ‘induced seismicity’, it is a consideration taken seriously by engineers during the permitting process. It seems to be a real although rare issue around waste disposal, geothermal plants and fracking operations.

What, where, and when.

Kindly cite examples.

Please post ACTUAL events where fracking chemicals got into ground water. Real proof and from a noted source.

You can't there aren't any. Fracking has been going on in Texas for decades.

So, tell me, how many years have you worked in the Petroleum/Gas industry?

[Mr. K]

do you even know?

Far too many occasions? Can you document one example?
