Liberals will not like the science, since it does not agree with their narrative......

[ClearCase_guy]

Oh, this science is not settled ...

this is what happens when the news media listens to publicts that work for middle east country's like Saudi Arabia.

There are already a significant number of people who will always believe fracking is an environmental disaster.

Too many of our citizens lack discernment so once a narrative is put out there they will always believe the lie. For bonus points have Hollywood put out a few horrible movies blaming *insert your cause here* for natural disasters or illness and it’s a done deal. This stuff migrates into children’s television shows and books and the next generation can believe the wrong thing also (reinforced by educators).

Well, it isn't any surprise to anyone who knows what the heck is going on.

For those who watched Gasland as their sole source of information, it might come as a surprise, though.

Environmentalists have long opposed fracking. One of fracking’s most vocal opponents, the Sierra Club, has claimed that “fracking has contaminated the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of Americans” despite contradictory research done by regulatory bodies, academics and even the EPA.

A good communist never lets the truth get in the way of rhetoric.

[umgud]

I thought this was settled politics.

[21twelve]

Well - it is just one study.

I’m guessing the Sierra Club will be able to come up with a certain percentage of scientists that will say fracking of formations 8,000 feet deep contaminates groundwater at 200 feet deep.

I know an engineer who was with Baker Hughes and sat on fracking wells to be available should any computer system on any drilling device break down. He knows, at each well, how deep the well is and every chemical, etc., used in drilling those wells. He has told me fracking wells are so deep there is no way they can contaminate water wells.

He happens to be a freaking liberal and would be the first to scream bloody murder if drilling “threatened” the environment.

About two years ago on “The Five” on FNC, Andrea Tantaros drank a clear wine glass full of fracking liquid to prove it was not harmful.

I could see them contradicting them but why are they contracting them?

[bestintxas]

the Sierra club is no better than its boss, who is an unquestioned idiot who does not know anything about anything as seen here.
