Thank you Reuters and Christopher Swann. It takes courage to contradict the massive efforts of oil and gas producers to convince us that it’s somehow good to destroy our farmlands, roads, local cultures, air and water so that oil and gas producers can generate profits. The physical evidence in Northern Pennsylvania alone should send oil and gas back to the drawing boards. I hope they find a way to utilize all that gas. But the direct and side effects of High volume hydrofracking are clearly catastrophic. Stop it.

This Reuters reporter knows more about the risks and rewards of fracking than the geologists and economists and political scientists at the world’s major oil companies? Uh huh.

Gas-based fracking technology gets rid of the problems with water-based fracking. The technology is better, faster and cheaper, and is already being used in Canada. America needs to first shed its arrogance, then its ignorance, and talk about solutions rather than making excuses for this problem or that.
