To be honest.. nope. And I see the "issue".. does not change my stand point one bit. Anyone with half a brain and a bit of logic can see that adding chemicals that are flammable (which they are) into the ground will eventually seep to the ground water. And it was only the water they tested... then explain why there is plenty of evidence of flammable water coming out of taps in areas where there has been fracking?
:lamo Oh too funny....So you tried to pass your agenda driven drivel off as fact based evidence, even when there is fact based evidence to dispute you....Here, I don't want to offend your oh so fair and balanced opinion but this from NPR....
"One of the most iconic symbols of the fracking debate is the video of a man setting his tap water on fire in the anti-drilling documentary Gasland.
Fracking, which refers to hydraulic fracturing, is a technique used to extract natural gas, and has become synonymous with all things gas drilling. It involves shooting water, sand and a mix of chemicals at high pressure deep into a wellbore to help split the shale rock and release the gas that lies tightly squeezed into the rock. Some worry fracking fluid will leak out of a well and contaminate aquifers. But the tap water blow torch seen in Gasland has nothing to do with hydraulic fracturing. Instead, it’s related to a problem called methane migration.
Methane migration is what it sounds like – methane gas migrating from deep underground to the surface. It leads to methane-filled drinking wells, flammable faucets, and even a 30-foot geyser of water and gas, in one Tioga County instance.
Methane can naturally migrate to the surface — reports of migration date back to the 1800′s – but natural gas drilling can speed up the process.
“Natural gas wants to migrate up,” Penn State University geologist Dave Yoxtheimer, who works at the Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research, tells StateImpact Pennsylvania. “It’s lighter, it’s less dense. And it finds itself getting trapped in these shalower, more porous formations. And during the drilling process you can go down through these shallower formations. As you’re drilling through, suddenly you’ve created a conduit for those gasses to escape.
If a driller doesn’t surround a gas well with the proper steel and cement casing, the gas can escape, and migrate up to the surface through faults and water wells. “What you’ve done,” Yoxtheimer explained, is “catalyzed the process of natural gas drifting up over geologic time.”

You might want to either read your own supposed back up for your claims, or instead of just swallowing what liberal orgs. say, do your own research. Fracking is probably safer than wind, but that is my opinion....
