Class action lawsuit over Oklahoma Earthquakes

[A Black Falcon]

Fracking definitely has some big negatives, but also positives. On the bad side, the water pollution element, from the stuff they're dumping in the wells to get the gas up, is a serious potential hazard for the future. The earthquakes fracking cause are also a definite concern, and it's nice to see someone actually try to do something about that here. But on the other hand, the rise of fracking has cut back coal use quite a bit in this country, and that's good for the environment since gas overall IS less bad than coal is, so... I'm not sure what I think of fracking on the whole; are the big drawbacks worth the benefit of reducing coal use? It's tough.
