After a field trip in West Virginia to see all the phases in fracking, April Keating published an article that demonstrates its tearing at individuals by tearing up the land where they live. She didn’t say it but we do: Fracking will continue and grow because people overstuff the planet with people. Man's inhumanity to man comes from man’s overbreeding.
From her article consider this paragraph:
All told, the land taken for this project was about 37 acres of an 80-acre tract of land. I felt for the landowner, whose land is now effectively ruined but for this purpose. Since, in West Virginia, mineral rights trump surface rights, many landowners find that their land is all but taken from them, losing the use and husbandry of it, yet they are still required to pay taxes on it. If they have a homestead, they often have to put up with loud, fast-moving truck traffic, noise and light pollution, and damage to air and water quality for weeks or months. There is always the possibility (and actuality) of spills and leakage, or overflow from holding pits when it floods. I did not see a dwelling anywhere near, but it would have been a wonderful homestead site. No longer.
