My well is located about 100 yds from an active drilling site. In the year they have been drilling under my land they have tested my well three times and there has been no evidence of contamination. Likewise for all my neighbors surrounding the site...
There was another thread on this last night. I pointed out then that this was a pure propaganda piece by the AP. Now a propaganda piece by the AP and gladly given legs by the New York Times.
Read the story carefully. The AP wrote it in such a way that makes one THINK they are talking about evil energy producers have leaked/injected the fluid mixture used in fracking into WATER wells. This assumption would be incorrect. In referring to WELLS, the AP actually means this fluid mixture is injected into the natural gas or oil WELL itself. They just wrote it to make you think it was water wells being affected
