Stupid media scaremongering again
Some muppet on Sky was going on about contaminated ground water in the US, and a video of lighting gas coming out of a water tap . First of all ground water is a few metres down, Fracking takes place around 3km down, below impermeable rock, so the two cannot interact.
As for the US video, it takes place in a farm where the ground water passes through his methane rock. You will find natural methane in water in the South of England.
Fracking does cause minor earthquakes, but then it is no different than when we were coalmining in this country, and we still get minor tremors from the closed mines as the ground still settles.
