    This never happened 50 years ago, and now is is happening. I'm pretty sure the top two comments are either employed by the frackers or just wont think out of the box. I would never believe any study concluded by a scientist whom is employed by the same people doing the fraking.

    Anyone who doesn't mind looking like a complete idiot can go ahead and debate whether or not putting highly dangerous chemicals into the ground water is a bad thing.

    I like the conclusion, that the regulations on fracking should be increased, but it shouldn't be thrown out as a means of harvesting gas.

    Have you reached net energy on your solar panels? Do you know what net energy is? Do you run to work everyday? There is more to petroleum than cars and home electricity. The internet infrastructure your using to read this is fueled by millions of BBLs of oil a day. The computer you are using now required ungodly amounts of petrol. Don't get me wrong, I dig what you're doing. But a lot of people who think they can go fossil free are fantasizing.

    We are more then half way there, are you?? EVERYONE/ANYONE can "divest" from oil. Our entire home is "off the grid" and being powered by the magic of the SUN. My husband and I are just two "DINKS", so.............
