Message: [QUOTE="alphaorange, post: 178132, member: 305"] Fracking uses chemically dangerous (to humans) water to inject into the shale. When it pollutes the water supply (which has happened), there is absolutely no way to fix it. Since we need clean water to survive, it seems to me to be a risk not worth taking. I get my water from a well on my own property and have no interest in having water trucked into my home as has been done in cases where the water was contaminated. This is about money, pure and simple. People that believe wind, water, and solar power are decades off are very uniformed. There are all kinds of ways to utilize even small amounts of wind to mitigate household requirements. Even slow moving water can generate significant KW of electricity. This is more about limiting what people can do on there own and maintaining a necessary dependence on a product that they (oil and gas) supply. [/QUOTE]
