I'm pro-gas but admittedly have fallen victim to some of the fracking propaganda with water table fouling and strange emissions coming out of the faucets of residents living within nearby fracking zones. What is the truth of this? I want to be pro-fracking because it's another energy solution, but need some of my concerns alleviated.
There probably needs to be some limit on depth (or minimum depth) of fracking to prevent water tables from being fouled. Or possibly distance to populated areas, or both. The oil companies are going to swear it is fine and doesn't affect water but there is too much evidence out there that it does.
