Oh brother
So in other words, people are pumping and selling the groundwater. Its not fracking, its pumping and selling groundwater. If this pumping of groundwater was being done for a bunch of swimming pools, I am sure the Guardian would have been just as concerned, right?
$36K a month buys a lot of bottled water.
Therefore, ban fracking everywhere, forever! LOL
no mention of the substitution of butane in place of water.
These guys have no shame
Texas has what is know as the Law of the Deepest Well. Basically, if your well runs dry because your neighbor drilled a well it’s your own fault. You should have drilled a better well. The water, oil, gas, or whatever, does not belong to you until it flows into the bore of your well.
Uh, no, we have what's called a drought. We need rain and lots of it.
Total BS.
Fracking is done far below the water table in sealed system.
The Obamay followers hate it that we are getting middle east oil and becoming self reliant. It does not follow their “Plan”.
The EPA could not justify their numbers and shut up and went away before it could be a black eye.
Yet some “toad” at the MSM wants a by line. No thanks. We get real news from abroad.
Good grief...
Finish the Keystone XL pipeline. Ignore the anti-competition NIMBYs.

Got this link from another poster on another thread...shows that they go way below the water table and seal of the bore hole before continuing...
You have to read on down to find out that the area has been under an extended drought, too.
Thorium Reactors powering massive desalinsation on the coasts pumping massive amounts of fresh water BACK into the middle of continents.
Mwahahaha
It's true fracking uses a LOT of water .. and it has to come from somewhere .. I'd like to know the company ... is it Fractech ?
Living in a semi-arid region (ca. 20-22 inches annual precip, virtually none of it escaping the rooting zone by downward percolation), in a city pumping its domestic supply from an underground reservoir that is being steadily lowered and not recharged from any source, so far as can be discerned, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind when I began reading about the fracking procedure was one of concern for the supply of water for other necessary purposes.
Believe me, bottled water is not a rational alternative.
Sorry, there is already a revolutionary new fracking technology that uses CO2 and a tiny fraction of water to do the same thing that once required lots of water. Try again, libs.
Ping.
Can they put in an irrigation system like the kind used on produce farms?
” he didn’t have enough water to feed them after fracking contractors drilled 104 wells on his land.”
Bitching about them drilling water wells he was paid for?
