Where? All of the independent studies have found no environmental issuesOriginally Posted by lordna
It has also been proven safe, as they've been drilling in the US for years. In the early days some methane may have leaked into ground water due to problems at the head of the well, but that is not an environmental problem as it naturally occurs in our own body... farting
.... but these problems have been resolved. Nothing from the actual drilling process has entered any water sources, it is just too far down to do that.
Unlike an open cast mine or quarry, fracking does not change the environment forever. Once they finish, they cap the well, and move on. Apart from the well cap, the surrounding area returns to normal nature within a few years.
It is far better than wind and coal power.
