No Evidence That Fracking Can Operate Without Threatening Public Health
I don&#x27;t see any qualification of on&#x2F;offshore, which presumably is a pretty important omission?<p>Even though one can probably make arguments about the impact of offshore fracking on public health, surely (at least) also a whole class of impacts relating to the human habitation around&#x2F;above the fracking area (methane leaks, earthquakes, groundwater contamination etc) are not relevant.<p>I&#x27;d be interested in a pragmatic study that calculates the net benefit of fracking. Some of us don&#x27;t want to go back to the dark ages, and like not being dependent on nasty regimes to keep the lights on. And before we start fetishing the environment, consider the pollution and hazards thrown out by a volcano, of which there are many on the earth&#x27;s surface.
