And I agree that fracking is bad, period. I can't understand how supporters can't see how it does permanent damage to a finite resource, let alone the other dangerous effects, like toxic pollution and earthquakes, and I am thinking particularly of Ohio. Just because this does less damage and saves water doesn't mean it solves the problem, but you're right that we'll certainly see.
