Here's a clue for ya, we've been fracturing deep subsurface rock to release crude oil for nearly a century. Doing the exact same thing but for natural gas is even safer and easier.

Alot of people around here fail to recognize this. Since this is something new IN THIS AREA-they assume that the process is also brand new. As you mention, fracking isn't new. Some of the techinques are, as they are being perfected and tweaked, but fracking itself is an old process.
Most of the environmental damage I have read about around here or seen involves illegal dumping of frack water and/or inexperienced drilling companies using the lowest cost labor not following industry practices.
Alot of oppossition here is stirred up by those that don't have any mineral rights with their land, and thus can't profit from the process.
