Fracking in Michigan; NO!!

If you have anything to enlighten me/change my mind, please contact me.

As I understand it, fracking is basically inserting chemicals/gels into rock to fracture it and thereby release the trapped gas.  Those chemicals are then in the underlying water table.

Though born in MI, and now in MI, I was raised in Ohio.  Ohio has no water; the Ohio River, Lake Erie and a couple man-made reservoirs.  No wells.  Fracking may be OK there.  But not in Michigan.

Michigan is basically a sponge floating on the Great Lakes.  Michigan peat?  Burl wood?  Bogs? Lakes?  Wells?  NO!!

We fought to keep other countries from exporting our water.  Let's keep it worth fighting for.
