Oil & Gas Drilling Safe?

Grist reported on a Newsweek article that questions the safety of fracking chemicals used by the gas and oil industry and the loopholes in the laws that have allowed the chemicals to escape regulation or disclosure.
.
It also puts into perspective the opposition to drilling within close proximity of the New York City water supply.
.
Just maybe those environmentalist are right and we should re-think our conviction that drilling is somehow an environmentally benign activity.

I don't see how those chemicals stay underground. Since it seems we're going to drill in every nook and cranny instead of promoting alternatives, maybe I need to understand how they do it.

we need to drill so maybe with other chemicals it would be safer.

My comment doesn't belong here, but could you present your thoughts about the selectman's meeting? The new town manager made comments about the green comittee and Jeff Stevens presented his ideas about Soule Homestead. I dont get some of it and dont know who else could explain it.
