“Being good stewards of our natural resources is not excusively the domain of liberals.”

True, but the distortion of facts to support environmental hysteria is the tactic most used by the environmental-socialist agenda. The wells that are being fracked are thousands of feet deep and have never been shown to contaminate water wells that are 10’s to 100’s of feet deep. Don’t take my word for it, but at least think about the 4000 to 5000 feet of solid rock between a frac job and a water well and ask yourself what is the probability that fluids that deep will contaminate a shallow water well?

Point me to an objective study on the long-term effects of the fracing process. Would like to see one on the strategic infrastructure issues such as water management, environmental sustainability, gas pipe infrastructure, etc.

I own minerals under lease I know what I'm talking about. Do you like near gas fields, active fracing wells, etc?

I found it extremely disappointing to see how the pro-drillling side feels the need to propagate lies, also. Read the words they use VERY carefully, and you see they use the same techniques as the Left.

The truth is in-between.
