And that is where lies the rub.

Generation, storage, variability, transmission distance all factor into the equation and it's a whole lot more complicated than what it sounds.

Oh, and it has to be really really cheap.

Many of these wild stories are concocted by misinformed anti-drilling people.

When Ny finally begins drilling, I'm sure fracking will be blamed for every headache north of Poughkeepsie.

Cornell Chronicle: Report exposes fracking's effects on animals
A new report has found dozens of cases of illness, death and reproductive issues in cows, horses, goats, llamas, chickens, dogs, cats, fish and other wildlife, and humans. It says these conditions could be the result of exposure to gas drilling operations.

"Without knowledge of all the chemicals being used, you can't test before drilling," said Bamberger. "And if we don't have predrilling tests then if you find a chemical postdrilling, how can you prove that" it came from hydrofracking, she added.

Again, nothing conclusive. I'm not saying it is or isn't, but there is NO PROOF.
