"Fracking" is a term invented by liberals. Meant to make the masses
afraid of the technology of fracturing.

Long been a term used in the oil patch long before the current dust up.
Derivative word is fracturing. In fact it was used in the Plow Share
projects of the AEC with underground testing in the 50/60s.

I also recall statements to the effect the process is perfectly safe and
won't harm underground aquifers/water sources.

I'm getting a headache listening to comments by drillers, property owners,
etc. Besides danger of contamination, there are byproducts the have to be
disposed.
I hear it from clean water action group, politicians, companies, and
property owners. Hot topic around here. Now they want to " send water
runoff from sewage systems to underground storage somewhere ?
