They spill the chemicals

The real issue isn't the fracking per se. It's the cavilier way in which many drillers/frackers handle the chemicals. They resist all efforts to have to register what they are using so when something it's found in the water it's hard to trace it back to them. The basic problem is they get sloppy, spill the chemicals on the ground which lets it perq to the aquifer. And want to not be liable for the damage if they caused it.

So while I support drilling for the energy we need I also want the drillers to be required to have to do so in a way that doesn't threaten an absolute life requirement (water). Now exactly what's the problem with that?
