Exaggerating the Employment Impacts of Shale Drilling: How and Why | WV Center on Budget and Policy
This is not news, it's the way to do business: lie.
So should we trust natural gas companies who deny fracking is a cause of contaminated water, claiming it's natural or biogenic. A good reason to be skeptical is not hard to understand: gas companies make more money when you believe they are not causing harm. Why should we trust them when they are not interested much in our well-being unlike the bottom line which dictates to cut costs when possible.
The manifestation of silencing the harms caused by fracking are hundreds of non-disclosure agreements that pay upwards of a million dollars in some cases (they make several million a day so don't be alarmed) for the families to never mention their incident, often even to neighbors. A good reason to be skeptical indeed.
Fracking Across the United States | Earthjustice notes known cases of families who claim their water was mysteriously polluted making them ill. Hmm, I wonder...oh right, it must be a natural process known as hydraulic fracturing. There simply is no other explanation when there is an instance of polluted water there is a rig not far from there: extreme correlation borderline causality I'd say.
