Is it always about the money? "Last week fracking began in Cleveland at the oil well site next to the Cleveland Police Department, promising to earn new revenue for the town. Martin Stutes, and independent contractor with New Century Exploration, stated to the Advocate that the local wells could produce 30,000 to 50,000 barrels over their life cycle. If the procedure works efficiently, it can produce $10,000 a month in new revenue for Cleveland during a five-year period. Perhaps the most disturbing reports claim that fracking pollutes wells, creeks, and drinking water. Residents rely on a clean water supply for household needs, and businesses need sanitary water for daily operations. A natural resource important for all life on the planet, any pollution to local water supplies remains intolerable" yourhoustonnews/cleveland/opinion/fracking-boom-or-bane/article_ff2363d2-555f-546e-ae0b-b262b709ea40.html
