Modern fracking has a waterless option. It's called plasma pulse technology (PPT).

  Interesting, makes you wonder why it's not promoted more heavily. Are there any drawbacks with the PPT approach?

    I imagine (from looking at it briefly) that it would not even nearly come close to the effectiveness of fracking. It looks very similar to water jet fracking - which doesn't work very well either
