Fracking is univerally a good idea. NIMBYs don't like it and people who think "chemical" is a swear word are un-convince-able but for the rest of us it's a positive thing.
If not wanting my backyard covered with toxic effluent from the badly maintained evaporation ponds and failed well outflow dams makes me a NIMBY, then so be it.
If not wanting my rivers suffused with methane and other gases released by the fracking process makes me a NIMBY, then so be it. I prefer my river water still, not sparkling.
