I was listening to an interview concerning fracking (?) the other day, and there was a lot of interest in it, people calling in telling stories of how the natural gas companies tell them it doesn't matter if they sign a release, they're going to just drill on their neighbor's land and access the noncompliant folk's land that way. There was lots of talk of the damage to the underground water table and so on. When they interviewed the spokesman for the natural gas company, his excuse was that we need the gas and so that's all there is to it. Duh! I'd say we need water a lot more than we need natural gas. That show really sensitized me to the situation, and I will be paying lots more attention from now on.
