Frack fluid is used to push sand and open the cracks in shale beds, then the fluid is pumped out leaving the sand to hold open the cracks making gas easier to pump out. Before you start blaming othersfor problems do your home work.

Now that this issue is done. They will start claiming the drills knocked the blackbirds out of the sky, or the fracking caused the drum to die off...... Way to get the truth USGS!

When I lived in Ohio, they fracked wells all around me. Never had a problem. It brings in the jobs and the land owner gets paid. It is time for Arkansas to stop looking for everything bad, and move ahead

Well now for all you liberals that still try and kill jobs in Arkansas, what will you try next to stop jobs coming to Arkansas? This proves what I said from the start.....quit shooting your selves in the foot and lets go to work.
