If not wanting my backyard covered with toxic effluent from the badly maintained evaporation ponds and failed well outflow dams makes me a NIMBY, then so be it.

If not wanting my backyard covered with toxic effluent from the badly maintained evaporation ponds and failed well outflow dams makes me a NIMBY, then so be it. If not wanting my rivers suffused with methane and other gases released by the fracking process makes me a NIMBY, then so be it. I prefer my river water still, not sparkling. Fracking is universally a bad idea.
