"Water-hauling companies can simply put hoses into streams and take out large amounts of water for free. That's because the waters in Ohio streams are considered a public resource that drillers and others can use for free if there is permitted access to the stream." 
Its not stealing!

"Environmentalists are concerned that the impacts on small streams could be severe with repeated withdrawals and if there are droughts, said attorney Trent Dougherty of the Ohio Environmental Counci


Ever notice how environmentalists have to use multiple qualifiers in their "concerns".    Impacts COULD be severe IF there are droughts.  Well there is no drought going on, and even if there were there is a good chance there would be no impacts.  Pretty shaky ground upon which to destroy an industry on.

What, me worry? Why should I worry, the world is coming to an end on December 21, 2012 according to the Mayan Long Count Calendar and none of us will be around. The Hopi Indians also tell us that the world will end on 12/21/2012.  All we have to do is watch H2 to see that our days are numbered unless the Aliens come down in their flying saucers to save us.
