The process requires the use (and contamination) of mind-boggling quantities of water. The companies who do it don&#8217;t want to disclose what chemicals they use. In places where fracking has been allowed on a large scale, it has turned rural landscapes into industrial landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>It seems obvious to me that it&#8217;s an all-round terrible idea \u2013 and we can put a stop to it if we take immediate action.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough talk.
