The driving factor is making money and thats great because if there is as much gas down there as they say there is, this could really boost our economy in the region and overall since we can be less dependent on others. The risk however needs to be accessed.

They dont know what effects this could have. There have always been cases of people getting sick from stuff like this. Just internet search for it… accidents have happened and it only takes one major fuck up to mess up everything.

The “Cheney Loophole” is a federal law. The EPA in Pennsylvania requires pre and post drilling water testing for anyone that has a water source within 1,000 of a well. If something goes wrong, it will be known immediately and documented and the gas company will be forced to correct the situation by whatever means necessary. And no, it would not take one mistake to Yes, people do know what effects this could have. There have been thousands of them drilled in Pennsylvania already. Tens of thousands down in the Barnett Shale. Accidents have happened. In the ONE case in which water was actually contaminated. It only affected 14 houses.
