Fracking is a cheap source of energy.

b_9904 certainly thinks it's a very safe method according to his (not so) common sense.

Prove it then.

Is it more dangerous and damaging as mining, drilling for oil, water, steam, and other gas deposits IN GAS FORM?

Well, that depends what you do there.

I mean, its not like every activity will affect anything.

It does not, but the video goes against " common sense".

Counter-intuitive, no.

So, you need to prove things. Not just spatter "it is common sense that it is bad."

Benham Rise

Filipinos dive into the waters of Benham Rise for the first time

So what if, the gas in the Rise is shale gas?

We will not frack that then?

From the Springer link:

Third, academic research over the last four years suggests that water quality concerns associated with fracking may be more serious than water quantity concerns. The literature has identified more definitive links between shale gas development and impacts on surface water quality, and emerging research is consistent with groundwater quality impacts. The rapid pace of expansion in the industry suggests that new research aimed at quantifying water quality impacts, characterizing their pathways, and assessing options (for industry and/or policymakers) for their mitigation will have high value
