Fracking linked to rise in earth quakes. Not only polluting the water table anymore.

I LOVE my v8. But fossil fuels will be uneconomical in the next 50-100 years. If we make it...

That gas well is probably less than 30 minutes away from my house. Right now in my area it is getting absolutely crazy with the marcellous shale. The local unemployment office is getting requests for 200+ cdl truck drivers at a time. There is also flagmen, roughnecks, site managers and lots of other jobs too. It has been an incredible change to this area that is definitely feeling the differences. My family has a gas well on the farm, and that is/will be a huge change for us. Only time will tell.
