Because it causes groundwater to catch fire, and the companies are allowed to keep whatever poisons they're pumping into the ground perfectly secret.

 

Poison is not a worthy tradeoff for profits. There needs to be a moratorium on fracking before it can be brought under proper environmental scrutiny with careful guidelines set in place for all companies to follow.

 

and lol at "Right to Work." The only "right" you have is to be fired if you get too uppity. That's what your "rights" afford you.

 

Care to cite an actual scientific study on fracking causing groundwater to be contaminated - enough to catch the water on fire? The last video I saw of it, the people went to jail for slander and falsification of the incedent.

The documentary Gasland is more or less what i've needed on this. Of course, it's a moving target, as those companies have faced enough scrutiny to tighten up the screws on environmental considerations, but Federal legislation is still needed. At least to make them non-exempt under the Clean Water and Clean Air acts like they are now.
