  • Report for European Commission on Environment -"Because of the health and environmental risks, the study recommends that fracking should only be allowed under strict conditions, and not yet on an industrial scale.  No fracking should be allowed in areas where water is being used for drinking purposes."
  • There is scientific proof that hydraulic fracturing regularly contaminates drinking water supplies. This occurs for groundwater and aquifers, and with fracturing fluid and hydrocarbons.
  • Other effects of hydraulic fracturing are too numerous to list. Case studies indicate that hydraulic fracturing is detrimental to communities in innumerable ways.
  • Industry arguments are exaggerated or false, most notably, inflated estimates of job creation.
  • Hydraulic fracturing is exempt from at least seven major environmental laws, and dozens more at the federal and state level.
  • Lobbyists at the state and federal levels maintain loopholes and exemptions.
  • Hydraulic fracturing is being done in Medina County.
