Ohio set to see oil boom thanks to fracking    http://money.cnn.com/2011/12/20/news/economy/ohio_oil/index.htm?iid=EL (http://money.cnn.com/2011/12/20/news/economy/ohio_oil/index.htm?iid=EL)

Ytowner....

But at what cost?

More earthquakes from more injection wells?

More water and land becoming contaminated due to problems at well sites
as reported in today's Vindicator?

Seems to me the only folks who will experience a Y-Town boomtown rush are those
individuals who live nowhere near the drilling sites.

I would have been sympathetic to your position until the New Year's Eve quake.
