Adjoining state PA:
"The AP found that Pennsylvania received 398 complaints in 2013 alleging that oil or natural gas drilling polluted or otherwise affected private water wells"
My best fishing bud John McK lives in Pittsburgh, and says the Marcellus frack profits are so astronomical, the entire state administration from Governor Corbett on down is, well, you know.
Opposition to fracking has NOTHING to do with blind resistance to technology and energy extraction progress. The issue is WATER resource preservation.
"The drilling and hydraulic fracturing of a horizontal shale gas well may typically require 2 to 4 million gallons of water"
My bud John has noticed a suspicious amount of his fishing lakes being closed for "repairs" and drained.
Contamination issues:
"The most common chemical used for hydraulic fracturing in the United States in 2005–2009 was methanol, while some other most widely used chemicals were isopropyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol, and ethylene glycol"
Pavilion, WY EPA testing local water supply wells:
"The wells also contained benzene at 50 times the level that is considered safe for people, as well as phenols -- another dangerous human carcinogen -- acetone, toluene, naphthalene and traces of diesel fuel"
