Researchers from the University of Cincinnati have been studying fracking and its potential affects on water wells in five Ohio counties for the past three years. The lead researcher, Dr. Amy Townsend-Small, shared the results at a recent meeting of the anti-drilling Carroll Concerned Citizens. She said, "The good news is that our study did not document that fracking was directly linked to water contamination." Oh oh. That's NOT good news for antis--and frankly, they didn't like her telling them the truth of what her study found.
