Yes, I'm aware of it. We have significant mineral rights under contract with SWN and others, and I'm fine with it. These are nuisance settlements, there is no evidence of fracking causing water contamination on any significant basis, and the fact that the Left is relying on legal settlements that would involve expensive litigation costs for the drillers is all you've got, pretty much tells the story. Should there be legitimate findings that water contamination is occurring as a result of fracking, I would be open to hearing it. But thus far, with hundreds of thousands of frack jobs having been safely performed with no real evidence of problems, it just isn't something that interests me. Industrial accidents do happen, it is a fact of life, and you can get contamination when those mistakes occur; but it is a price we pay for energy.
