What the frack is hydro fracking? So I found the answer:

Hydro-Fracking, sometimes called hydrofracturing, is a well development process that increases the flow of water from a bedrock well by increasing the size and extent of the bedrock fractures that bring water into the well. The procedure involves subjecting the bedrock formation to water pressure sufficiently high enough to either extend existing bedrock fractures or create new fractures. Hydro Fracking is a more COST EFFECTIVE alternative than drilling deeper. Water is injected into a low-yield water well at a high pressure and volume opening up and cleaning out the existing fractures found in the rock.

Don`t forget quakes from fracking.

Just say "NO" to fracking.

Unless you really want to experience what we have here in Arkansas, and I wouldn`t wish it on my worst enemy.

This year has been an eye opening experience here .... I hope NY says no to fracking. Way too much risk in it.

I very much hope New York doesn't allow for fracking, but won't be surprised when they do.

I spent a lot of time studying this issue and I'm actually in the process of trying to get a book published that is a fictionalized account of real stories I've heard and seen related to fracking. People do, have, and are getting sick.

Released information shows at least four different cancerous substances are included in frack fluid. I'm not a chemist, but the research is easy enough to find.

The problem isn't with the well, per se, but rather with the disposal of waste materials and the fact work is done sloppy. You have high school kids running around the hills, huge retaining pools full of dirty water, and companies looking for anywhere and everywhere to dump whatever they can't recycle. On top of that, you have hazardous emissions.

If it comes to your area, the best advice I can give is make sure any stations are at least a half mile from where you breathe, live and eat. And watch Gasland if you want to get quickly up to speed.

Here in Pennsylvania, our state government is basically stripping local municipalities of the right to refuse this in the name of improved state safety measures. Considering millions went into the coffers of our governor's campain from the companies, I'm beyond dubious about what is happening.

But it's a lot of money, for the owners and the workers.
