I also remember the people that died trying to go to the moon but we did
it anyway.  I have heard a lot of people talking about fracking and all
sort of myths about it.  I have not seen proof that is in drinking
water.  Even so, I have a well that we drove here and we drank off it
for years.  It has a HUGE iron count and turns white clothes orange. 
There is always something in water.  It's just what water does.  That is
why it gets filtered before it is used for drinking.  By the way,
fracking has been around for something like 60 years.  Not all the oil
that has been found recently requires fracking either.  So, don't just
point to fracking and then claim that all oil is bad.

The website you linked to is against oil from my google search.  It
would be like quoting Al Gore for global warming, climate change or
whatever they call it this week.

Care to explain away that we could get hit my some asteroid too? 
Yellowstone could erupt again and kill us all.  Better get your "I'm
scared of everything" hat on. 

Who knows it is a couple decades?  That was the thinking years ago
BEFORE finding all the new reserves of gas and oil. 

Careful calling someone stupid.  It could come back and name calling on
the list is not a good thing.  You should know better.
