I have seen water on fire right out of the tap in Colorado. I have heard a man in Wyoming tell of his Ranch ruined by fracking. He takes showers and washes his dishes in water that smells like oil. Santa Barbara Co. has Casmalia,, that doesn't seem to bother this generation,,,,they just want to Surf in polluted water!!! Fracking will come, BIG oil will win,, while some worry about waves!!! We will all get Fracked no matter where we live. Were FRACKED!!!!
