Most media people don't realize hydraulic fracturing is a production enhancement method and not a drilling method. Yes, it is that bad, and I have tried to correct them in other venues.
They even refer to rail transported Bakken oil as 'fracked' as if that made it more dangerous, not realizing it is the rock around the wellbore which gets fracked, not the oil.

Oh, noes! Not “fracked” oil! “Fracked” oil is much, much worse than any other kind of oil! “Fracked” oil means we’re all gonna die! ;-)

I talk to an engineer whose job is at fracking wells to be there in case computers operating big machinery screw up. I’ve learned a lot about how these wells are drilled and expanded at the bottom of the well into the shale rock.
