My point is that this is not unique to fracked wells. Literally any well can have this problem and it's something that wells have to be regularly tested for.

My point is that this is not unique to fracked wells. Literally any well can have this problem and it's something that wells have to be regularly tested for. If a new technique is developed that allows hydrocarbons to be extracted from these wells, but does not fall under the fracking bans, then we're back in the same spot. In addition, if scientists have discovered a systematic flaw in regulation on well casing integrity, then I hope we apply that knowledge to all our oil wells, and not just the fracked ones.
