Like a child, man plays with anything he can get his hands on, never realizing the consequences of his actions!
Exactly. I prefer the precautionary principle myself. Especially when something as important as water is involved.
good point.
If the industry is not made to operate safely - if the industry can not be made a safe process. It is not only the nasty chemicals used in the fracking process - it is also the fact that the extraction containment jackets fail and then the pollution/poisoning happens in that way also..
