People are inventive and come up with new objections all the time. I haven't heard this one before. Gasland showed natural gas coming out of faucets, I believe, supposedly from the shale gas strata - which was bogus. They then said chemicals in the injection water would enter ground water. When they give up each objection they come up with some new one. "the fracking fluids may be expected to push naturally salty water up into the freshwater zone near the surface." I haven't heard of this actually happening. But I'm sure they'll find someone somewhere to say it has. Every state has a Dept of Environmental Quality or something with a similar name, which regulates this stuff. I think they can and will do so.
