>believes their environment will be destroyed if they frak. Because there are valid reasons to believe so based on the way some fracking operations have been run. Contaminated ground water (look at Wyoming) and potentially even seismic related risk (a 5.6M earthquake in Oklahoma may have been directly caused by fracking). Hydraulic fracturing can also result in its own air pollution, noise pollution etc. Sure, it can probably be done safely but a single mistake could have wide-reaching and long-lasting implications. Instead of replacing one bad thing with another risky thing we need to get less spooked by modern nuclear reactors,and renewables, until (if ever) we figure out fusion.
