Every time I see a loaded oil train go by, I worry, and hope and pray that it doesn't derail near my house, as if I had to evacuate today it would be totally impossible, as my automobiles are blocked in by the snow plow mounds, and the doors are frozen shut with ice.
One anti fracking meme said: "Just because big shale oil fracking companies polute the land and contaminate the drinking water, it shouldn't be business as usual".
Fracking is a huge mistake for the enviornment as big oil is poisoning the US aquifiers, and without dedicated underground pipelines, shale oil trains are unsafe ... shale oil trains are an accident just waiting to happen ... they can't even keep a general freight train on the tracks without minor, to major, derailments every 7 minutes, each and every day, 24-7-365
Everyone seems to think that fracking has been going on for decades, when it has not, and it is a relitvely new process of injecting god knows what chemicals deep into the drinking water aquifiers. And young people readily accept shale oil fracking as environmentally clean and safe. Just wait until entire towns and cities die, and become huge cancer clusters, with widespread childhood birth defects, all because of this newfangled shale oil fracking.
