10 biggest anti-fracking lies

Phelim McAleer, the producer of FrackNation, details his list of the top 10 lies told about fracking:

1. Anti-fracking activists are nice people who love debate
2. Everyone hates fracking
3. Fracking is brand new and untested (started in 1947)
4. Fracking makes your water flammable
5. Fracking contaminates drinking water – one million fracked wells, zero cases
6. Fracking uses a lot of dangerous chemicals – actually 0.5% only
7. Fracking causes breast cancer
8. Fracking uses a ton of water – 5% of that used to water lawns
9. Fracking should be banned because it causes earthquakes – so do hydro dams and geothermal
10. Fracking destroys the landscape and disturbs bucolic rural America – generally only for a few days
