I am certainly against any efforts that ruin clean drinking water or create other environmental hazards. Surface strip mining for lithium and rare earth materials is something to watch closely as well. (which by the way, China owns the vast majority of rare earth mines in the world, including US mines)
It's my understanding that fracking takes place 1 to 2 miles below the surface, well beyond a typical water well for drinking.
Not disagreeing with you and I would feel the exact same way if my water was tainted by contaminants.
Wells that are fracked are existing wells that have already run dry and are reactivated by the process.
