Like every energy source, fracking has its dangers. The process involves injecting large amounts of water and chemicals deep underground. If done right, this should not contaminate freshwater supplies, but rogue companies have screwed up and there have been instances of contamination. Define a "rouge company"? I'd wager they are those that get "caught".
There isn't anything wrong with taking our time to understand the consequences of "fracking" before we jump, whole heartedly in to bed with it. Some suggest that fracking could be responsible for some earth quakes in Australia etc. Prudence isn't passivity. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/fracking-concern-reignites-2011110...
