Ask HN: What do you think about unconventional hydraulic fracturing?

I am doing a paper about unconventional hydraulic fracturing. Part of the assignment is to get involved with the community and to spark discussion about the topic.

I have made a small website outlining some of the major parts of the controversy: http://www.cs.stedwards.edu/~anunez/fracking/

Please give the website a quick look and post your opinions on the issue here. Thank you for your input.
