FF, TS: all well and good, so parade your genuine environmental concerns.
Of course Marcellus Driling News is not neutral on the issue - any fool can see that; but neither is Greenpeace and the Green Party. If there are genuine environmental concerns, they should stand examination. What are they, and where is the evidence that underpins those concerns?
But don't start pleading bias, or hinting at vested interests as a method of debarring counter-argument from those proponents of fracking. It is equally plausible that those arguing for fracking are doing so because of genuine concerns about the well-being of people and the environment - that would certainly be my position.
