Yes, fracking is a term for many things, some OK, like horizontal fracking way below the water table with good double casing, etc. for natural gas.Fracking is simply a component of the big chicken game going on. It's thrown out there as way too big a global factor. This same scenario has played out countless times over history. This episode is deeper and therefore more memorable. The shit hit the fan decades ago similarly. No fracking back then.
Fracking certainly complicated this current standoff, but it did not singularly precipitate it as you have constantly, off-handedly asserted.
But, I was surprise to hear, they are still doing vertical shallow well fracking for oil. Yuck. That is the bad fracking that gives fracking for natural gas, a bad name.
Two different beasts, one I am for, one I am against both called fracking.
