Not purposely trying to rain on your little parade but… I’m gald to hear you are making lots of money off of this while you are helping to cause groundwater contamination that threatens to destroy the water table in this area forever. You predict an economic boom coming to the area…more like the whole place becoming an uninhabitable ghost town because of all the toxic chemicals being pumped into the ground to extract the gas. Anyone who has a well for drinking water in this area should be very concerned about this… Read all about it… > **[Pennsylvania lawsuit says drilling polluted water](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fracking-suit/pennsylvania-lawsuit-says-drilling-polluted-water-idUSTRE5A80PP20091109)** > > A Pennsylvania landowner is suing an energy company for polluting his soil and water in an attempt to link a natural gas drilling technique with environmental contamination. > **[A Colossal Fracking Mess](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/06/fracking-in-pennsylvania-201006)** > > Christopher Bateman unearths the dirty truth behind the new natural gas.

Being out here in the semi-sticks of Sonny and Dom’s old kneck of the woods, I’m REALLY worried about it because there are some double-wides sitting on a few acres all over the place where I know they’d just love to cash in so they can finally get their trans-ams off blocks and running again. I mean, their kids already are spoiled by the gene pool that created them, so what’s a few more health problems for the sake of being able to afford an extra night at the Golden Corral buffet every week? Glad I’m popping out the kids before the stuff hits full swing, so I know _they’ll_ at least only have the standard two arms and two legs when they’re born. Of course who knows what will happen as they grow if this shit does come full swing. I’ve got 25 acres and no one has contacted me. But all my neighbors have gotten some sort of “offer letters”. Luckily at this point, no one is being fooled and no one is taking it (so they say). I just hope we don’t end up with our own version of [Love Canal, NY](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Canal). All I know is that when it comes to big $$ for the companies harvesting any natural resources, what we’re given as propaganda and what we’ll look back on in 20 years can easily be two completely different stories. We all should be worried. ---

This has been going on for decades… What is to fear ? The media finally giving attention to it ? This is nothing new. The media ignored this for decades. The media now uses facebook and twitter, yet yinz all jump on that bandwagon. All lemmings ---

Congratulations on having no fucking clue what you’re talking about and passing on bad information as if you did. They have been drilling and fracking unconventional shale plays in Texas for well over a decade with not a single documented case of frac water contaminating an aquifer. It can happen when someone does something grossly negligent (like Cabot up in Dimock, PA), but it is far from the norm. And even out in Dimock, it affected 14 whole houses, and the gas company is liable to restore their drinking water. Also, there is no way this could impact surface water, and frac water is 99.5% water and sand, and most of those “toxic scary chemicals” are shit that is found in cosmetic products and household items anyways. > [@Who Do You Want to Race/See Race '08](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-do-you-want-to-race-see-race-08/42389/113): > > Not purposely trying to rain on your little parade but… > > I’m gald to hear you are making lots of money off of this while you are helping to cause groundwater contamination that threatens to destroy the water table in this area forever.
