"But the Energy Department report is far from the last word on the subject. The department monitored six wells at one site, but oil or gas drilling at other locations around the nation could show different results because of variations in geology or drilling practices. Environmentalists and regulators have also documented cases in which surface spills of chemicals or wastewater damaged drinking water supplies."One down, more to go. :) |

A separate study published this week by different researchers examined drilling sites in Pennsylvania and Texas using other methods. It found that faulty well construction caused pollution, but not fracking itself. |

That seems to be the result of 6 years of fracking. Fracking itself doesn't seem to cause trouble. But the basic gas drilling process itself can go wrong. |
