People in my area are in a growing state of panic due to the anti drilling activists. A woman at a recent meeting was screaming about all the chemicals detected in her well that “weren’t there” 20 years ago.

However, the numbers she gave from the two tests 20 years apart told the whole story. 20 years ago, the test couldn’t detect what they find in miniscule quantities today.

Which is the whole basis of today's environmental lunacy:

"If we can detect it, it must be bad, and therefore, banned."

That is why the Impact Fee legislation establishes mandatory baseline water quality levels for private wells near drilling sites.

I was horrified to hear the the wells were full of Dihydrogen Monoxide......that stuff can kill you!
