[Christ]

I don't usually put much stock in those reports, at least without finding out the background of the people who ordered it. It's a very volatile subject, and a large number of groups stand to lose or gain from either end.

Being somewhat involved in the gas field, I see things that most don't, and as such, when some farmer comes to me talking about how his water is now flammable, I just hang my head and walk away...

Likewise, when the media reports about frac crews (there is no "k" in frac) and their "environmental impact", then show pics of a drill rig, or the coil tube rig, I can only think that someone should have done a bit more fact checking.

I don't necessarily agree with frac'ing, oil drilling, etc, but right now, it's provided a good many high wage jobs with benefits to an area that needed it, so people could care for their families who otherwise couldn't without financial aid.
