Fracking is going on all around the Panhandle of Texas. I know many landowners. Many of them do not own the mineral rights. The oil companies coming on their land and drilling is just a PITA. I haven't heard of any polluted wells from them. I haven't heard of any on the local news.

Do you know anybody that has had their well ruined? I don't doubt that it has happened many times. Again it is a low percentage. Nothing is 100%

No doubt that we are going to have leaks and spills of oil.

But as far as no accountability what about BP in the Gulf of Mexico? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill

" As of February 2013, criminal and civil settlements and payments to a trust fund had cost the company $42.2 billion.[30]"

BP earnings for 2013 were 13.4 billion: http://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/press/press-releases/fourth-quarter-2013-results.html

Steve I agree, personal attacks are counter-productive and unpleasant.
