Damaging the water supply is an exception not the norm

I’m not sure you know how fracking works. I recently read a book about this very issue (Amity and Prosperity) and the reality is that they inject chemicals to break the shell. Those chemicals end up seeping into the ground. The other factor is that the reservoirs that hold residual chemicals and waste water are often poorly maintained and they leak that stuff into underwater wells and reservoirs.
