<The industry says fracking occurs far below groundwater tapped for drinking. Cement casings around bore holes prevent exposure, companies say.> Yeah and 'the industry' said asbestos was the best thing since sliced bread. They ought to at least have to disclose the stuff they are pumping into the earth... not a big burden and would probably make them all more efficient and a lot less scary. A little regulation might even help the industry to avoid the 'knee jerk environmentalist' side and increase their acceptance by the locals.
