Stop Hydraulic Fracking! Save fresh water and land

The Issue

Stop Hydraulic Fracking for natural gas!  This procedure carried out mainly from NY state-TN is contaminating air and people's water tables.  As seen on Nightly News, this procedure is forcing some residents to maintain separate water tanks just to have fresh water.  As shown, some residents can light their tap water on fire due to the gas in the line.  The contamanents they pump into the ground to break up the shale are a cocktail of chemicals including hydrochloric acid.  The side effects of contaminated water tables, geological disturbance, and overall pollution to both air and water are not worth the risk.  We just saw what the Oil spill did--why must we repeat it on land for natural gas?  Let's choose other more "green" solutions to our energy.  And preserve Earth for all the children and the people.  Google, search, educate...share...this isn't worth the end product.  We don't need to see another Erin Brokovich situation before we believe the harm to our bodies and our air/land.
