What give you the "authority" to just say that and expect people to believe it.

I prefer a civil discourse. Hostile and personal confrontational posting are adolescent and unwanted.
Re the wells. I have them all around me, by the hundreds, and I know of NO water wells that have been affected. My neighbors have one in full production less than 300 feet from their house and well.
Many of the local water wells have had natural gas in them from day one, for many it is a problem. As for the fraking, a blanket statement concerning them is indeed untrue. If I were to say there has never been any problems, that also would be untrue.
This area underwent a large gas drilling period in the 1930s. They were of the shallow type, non fraking and some are still in production. Now we are undergoing a similar surge of DEEP well drilling, a mile down.
Carelessness in drilling etc etc, you bet. Spills and the State is right there to fine the companies and get things cleaned up. I know of NO ONE within my area that has been adversely affected.
The greenies tried to get the drilling stopped. So they held a meeting in New York City for people from around the country, to stop drilling in Pa.
So, as the wells come on line here, the gas is pumped across the line to NYC at an increased cost to their people.
So far China, Japan and Dutch have bought in by the billions of dollars in this affair. Penn State U. estimates, we alone have enough gas to supply the entire northeast for the next 75 years. At a low price. Of course we could import it from the ME as we do our oil.
