Here are a few links with information you can check out:    http://earthjustice.org/features/campaigns/colorado-and-fracking ; http://earthjustice.org/features/campaigns/fracking-across-the-united-states ; http://www.naturalnews.com/032358_fracking_gas_drilling.html

After being offered approximately $100,000 to lease his land to gas companies and allow them to use his land for fracking, Josh Fox said no to the money and decided, instead, to produce the HBO documentary "Gasland" (http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/trailer/) and discover what exactly fracking entailed.

He found water flowing from kitchen faucets that could be set on fire due to high levels of methane, large pools of toxic waste that kill cattle and vegetation, chronically ill residents with the same unusual symptoms living in drilling areas in disparate locations around the U.S., and well blowouts and gas explosions that are routinely covered up.

In a PBS interview (http://to.pbs.org/de6oUK), Fox said the drilling is happening in 34 states and has been going on for the last 10 years.
