yup it's true, people hate fraking because it's not the result of environmental regulationn.

only pussified liberals want things like clean drinking water!

and earthquakes, when did one of those ever hurt anyone?

1. EnCana has put forth several statements severely criticizing the Pavillion report at EnCana.com. . Main criticisms seem to include that the water monitoring wells were drilled into a known natural gas prone area and zone so it's no surprise they found natural gas there. ( this has been a consistent issue for industry. Where people say industry activity introduces natural gas into a water reservoir when it was naturally occurring beforehand. That's why industry typically does water testing before , during and after their activities.. So they can assess if there are impacts on the water). EnCana Also claims that the EPA found chemicals tht EnCana did not use and also found contaminants in a relatively large number of their quality control samples. ( highly purified water which is tested to see if their are any issues with their sampling and testing methods.)

2. Earthquakes.. While a connection based on timing appears to exist, these is not yet much proof as to causation. Three decades of data is really nothing in geological terms and most of these earthquakes are not discernable without modern instrumentation. ... So we truly have very limited data. Personally I am concerned about this one as " don't know" is just that. The spike in seismic activity is something to investigate.
