I hate it when everyone gets so worked up over something they see on tv or the internet that is thousands of miles a way. We have courts for a reason let the locals deal with the problems.... putting federal regulations (one size fits all) doesn't help anyone.

I agree they used a lot of water, but NOW they are recycling the water used for fracking. Some tree huggers scream about the environment. If you look at a site when they are finished they put it back to original or better than it was. There are people against progress yet they want electricity to power their i pods and i pads and make their coffee at Starbucks. The Eagle Ford Shale Play creats jobs and that is what this nation needs.

The fracking goes on way below the water table.

RRC needs to enforce companies to use recycled water for fracking Wells.

Thank you energyNOWnews for an informative video, even though I think these fossil fuel technologies is a step in the wrong direction. They will most likely just bring more pollution and slow down the switch to renewable energy. Is it really worth it?
