Just a question:
Do environmentalists ban fracking because of the chemicals or water used which might cause environmental damage to the underground geography?
Or do they ban it because it cracks the earth, which fouls the underground geography, cross, contaminates aquafers, and causes earthquakes?
Think like an environmentalist. No matter how environmentally friendly fracking is, it still cracks the earth. For the fracking operation, I think the new Halliburton electric system is the best at environmental friendliness, no diesel pumps, no diesel at all: all 100% electric, fracks with 99% water which safely evaporates away and dissipates, no environmental damage. Never the less, it still cracks the earth! Which is the point, and problem, with fracking in the first place.
