fracking is done miles below the watertable yet somehow people still think it will contaminate the water. why is that??? propaganda maybe
It must be propaganda. Injecting millions of gallons of "Fluids" into the ground at extremely high pressures with the intentions of De-stabilizing rock formations which oil and natural gas is trapped in. What could possibly go wrong?
Fracking has never contaminated any drinking water anywhere in the world.
3:52, a gas can be compressed. a liquid cannot. yes, it's that simple. because the gas is replaced with a liquid, stabilization of rock formations occurs. de-stabilization is a myth.
ckeck out the movie gasland and you can see some of the damage fracking causes and what the gas companies are covering up.
