Fracking is like a crack addiction ! It provides our economy a "high" while it lasts but the long-term effects on our environment( including raping our great state of its more precious resource water)are self-destructive,reprehensible, and shameful. Fracking needs to go!

The first question is a good one, but the second question is unrelated to it.
Each question should probably be its own thread.

The more I read about fracking, the more I agree with this. The big question is, what is more important?

If it is more important to you, set an example and stop benefiting from it.

Lower demand means lower price means no more fracturing.

It's easy to have an opinion. Taking action is entirely different.

Thought this was a thread about Medina lake levels, not the fracking industry. There are a large number of pro and con threads on fracking, maybe take the specific fracking discussion there?

I don't benefit from it. When you say that, you are putting words in my mouth. Thanks for the lecture however.

You don't benefit from it?

So you absolutely don't use petroleum products?

Did you type that on a computer made of wood and corn and powered by wind while eating all local foods produced by the Amish?

No.

You benefit from fracturing every day.
