Drilling Effects Earth

Drilling into the ground has caused some of the gas to seep through the ground and poisons the ground water.  If any living creature drinks this water, it can cause extreme, hazardous harm to them.

"The gas companies to date will not release the amounts of chemicals in their water mixture because they say that it is business information and it would not be fair for lawmakers to force them to disclose company secrets. Property owners and city and county officials have noticed that there is an increase in pollution of ground water in areas where drilling is taking place."
