>> f it's a "liberal lie", it's one from the conservative Wall Street Journal!

Unlike most news sources, WSJ presents both sides of arguments, this one included.

The liberal lie is in the suggestion that there is some equivalence between "heavy truck traffic" (which is at issue in the suit) and the kinds of environmental problems fracking has been blamed for, but which haven't been shown to occur.

I'm in a state where their is a lot of fracking activity, some of which is on land owned by me. I've seen no instance where the "damage" by trucks wasn't more than offset by the benefits. And here, at least, residents LOVE it when the drilling begins. Because we understand that it means money, jobs, and economic benefit. In some of these tiny communities when a company comes in and spends $12 million drilling & fracking a well, no one is about to complain about it as long as there isn't damage to the water table, which there never is.

Here at least, most interested parties understand what it is and what it isn't. While there have been reports of minor earth quakes -- quakes of insignificant magnitude -- in some remote areas, I don't see anyone really complaining about it.
