Good catch, Griff. It's a very interesting discussion - well worth the listen.

It was frustrating to listen, yet not be able to either disagree or ask a (pointed) question.
Likewise it's ironic (but predictable) that Dr. Conrad relies so heavily
on "regulators" to prevent or control issues, but the industry is pushing for less regulation.

My ultimate question would be... regardless how it happens or who is at fault,
what will the (fracking) industry do if/when ground water actually is contaminated ?

Conrad's thesis that State agencies (regulators) have now or will have
the where-with-all to "visit a site, diagnose the problem and fix it" was truly disingenuous.
