I think the worst consequence of fracking I've seen is this:
Not to say the ungulates don't rank, they just maybe rank below flammable tap water.
What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

I'd think if the folks who did the study had considered fracking a major contributor to habitat degradation (as opposed to just the usual stuff around any drilling site like well pads, roads, piping, power lines, fences, etc.), they'd have mentioned it in the abstract. The fact that they don't mention it at all, but the New Scientist writer features it in the headline as though it is the only contributor ("Fracking drives pronghorn herds out of Wyoming habitat"), should really set off alarm bells for anyone looking at the story critically.

Don't get discouraged Niki.
In this goofy made for TV movie called Mongolian Death Worms, these bad white guys are fracking near Genghis Khan's tomb and the Death Worms guarding it get angry and start attacking people. Its kind of lame, but worth my while because it involved Genghis' tomb. Unfortunately I don't think there were any real Mongolians in it.
I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

Through his music, acclaimed Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has added his voice to those of eight million people from across the world demanding protection for the Arctic. Einaudi performed one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the middle of the Ocean, against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier (in Svalbard, Norway).

The sad thing is that the people who do the fracking have all the power. They spend a fortune lying about renewable energy, and suppressing facts about what all this drilling is doing to the planet and our water.
Until we vote in people who wont take their bribes, nothing is going to change.
