Here are some actual facts on fracking, both pro and con:

There's no mention there of the vastly increased incidence of earthquakes in Oklahoma and other fracking areas:

but the practice clearly does not get a clean bill of health, nor is any non-renewable energy source a long-term solution.

Read the article. I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Not to mention some of the drawbacks can be addressed with more conciensious procedures. Certainly not the scare showed in gasland blaming fracking for faucets of flame. Very disingenuous and nothing but a scare tactic.

I wouldn't have posted the PopMech article if I hadn't read it. It and the one from the USGS on induced earthquakes are simply in response to "Show me facts that fracking is harmful."

I am a high-voltage lineman. I have been dealing with PCBs in transformer oil since the late 70s . To the best of my knowledge the only way PCBs have been known to be a carcinogen is when they're heated to about 1100°F. They then release a compound known as furans . And inhaled can cause cancer. But I will continue to eat the hell out of Striped Bass!
