This is capitalism at work. Healthy debate is good. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The benefits of fracking have the potential of creating huge tax revenues, union wage jobs and other opportunities that would benefit this country. I object to extremism on both sides, especially when it comes to showing bubbling well water that ignites, which is propaganda at its worst. Many of these wells had natural gas in them prior to any fracking and the environmental lobby knows it. Likewise, there are many questions the energy industry lobby must answer before we march blindly into this. Everybody needs to calm down and let things sort themselves out.
