7 Ways Oil and Gas Companies Are Trying to Buy Positive Public Sentiment for Fracking: "Their high-dollar campaign to put a happy face on this risky practice is designed to challenge the growing movement to ban fracking that's heating up across the country.
Sometimes reality is stranger than science fiction. That's the case with hydraulic fracturing, or fracking -- a dangerous technology that's much like setting off a giant pipe bomb four or five miles underground. Millions of gallons of water, chemicals and sand are injected deep into shale rock formations at high pressures to break open the rock and release the gas.
The promoters say its safe. Or that's what the oil and gas industry would have you think, anyway. But behind the scenes, the industry is fighting tooth and nail to keep fracking unregulated, and its claims of safety, economic prosperity and energy security unquestioned. Their high-dollar campaign to put a happy face on this risky practice is designed to challenge the growing movement to ban fracking that's heating up across the country: people are saying no to this risky technology that, if pursued, will negatively impact our health, water, and economy...."

Of course they say it's safe. There is money to be made. I see commercials about it, and it makes me sick.
I haven't seen any of them. But I can imagine how much important info is being left out.
They simply lie.
I have seen those commercials. They are nauseating BUT that's what the sheep want to hear. There was a horrible incident in Pennsylvania some time ago concerning fracking.
I don't think I heard about that incident.
