Just in case anyone here reading this lives under a rock: Hydrofracking (the process of fracturing shale to remove gas) poisons the water table. As a bonus, Hydrofracking has also been responsible for all those bizarre earthquakes that have been happening in the mid-Atlantic and mid-West lately.
The only ones who will benefit from hydrofracking will be the big gas companies doing it and the politicians they keep fat and happy. The rest of us will have poisoned wells and cancer to look forward to.
The propagandists on TV are doing everything in their power to spin it—to make it seem like the next great idea—because that's their job as corporate tools.
End of rant. Have a nice day.
