Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking or hydrofracking, is a drilling process in which natural gas and oil are extracted from deep underground by injecting large amounts of water and toxic chemicals through a wellbore to break up the rock, shale rock or coal beds, thereby enabling the natural gas and oil to escape. The extremely low natural permeability of shale has prompted companies to create these fractures in the shale formations in order to form a pathway along the fractures for the gas to flow and escape.
The use of fracking by energy companies has increased dramatically around the country in the past few years. There are hundreds of chemicals used in fracking, many of which are known carcinogens, including benzene. These toxic chemicals are being introduced into the environment, both underground and above ground, and as a result are causing well water poisoning, land devaluation, i.e., a severe drop in the value of land affected by the fracking process. Some property owners have reported that their well water is contaminated and is no longer safe for drinking, bathing, or washing clothes. In addition, people have reported trouble breathing due to hazardous chemicals that have been released into the air. These serious health concerns associated with fracking or hydrofracking have adverse effects on people, drinking water, air and property values.
Same way lawyers make a mint doing anything: filing lawsuits based on bogus science, getting juries to weep, and hitting the lottery verdict.
Easy, and hard to do anything about.
I don't suppose you have any concrete examples?
If it's a proven fact that fracking doesn't cause cancer, an argument often peddled by partisan water carriers here, how is it that a law firm can make a mint specializing in cancer caused by fracking cases?

Proven fact?
Like it was proven that margarine was better for you than butter?
Like it was a fact that smoking was good for ya?
The earth was flat?
Please provide a single link that proves scientifically or medically that fracking has caused a single case of cancer.

We have had mercury in flourescent bulbs for decades. Virtually all businesses have used tube lights for decades.
And many are in homes as well.

I feel no obligation to provide evidence to support a claim I've never made.
Clearly the jury is out on this. But it's a fact that the process introduces known carcinogens to the area being fracked. The link provided in the OP gives you one such example, but feel free to do your own due diligence. Just don't tell me that you're certain it doesn't cause cancer because I don't believe for a second that you're clairvoyant.
