A very concerning study on hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, fracking quakes and ground water contamination was released a few weeks ago.
I'm surprised no one else caught it.
I have been through a natural gas shortage, it would appear that the contamination isn't nearly as scary as $15 per MM btu or higher natural gas prices and gas shortages.
Unlike virtually everyone who is complaining about hydraulic fracturing, some having gas service and virtually all of them using natural gas generated electeicsl power, I live in fracturing country and have a very valuable water well.
I was told by a local farmer/rancher that getting my 16 inch agg well serviced and validated should have nearly doubled the value of my land. So if anyone should be freaked out it should be me.
Oh and I don't use natural gas. I know the line runs right next to my house, but I do not partake.
