The debate goes on and on about the safety of hydraulic fracturing, also called hydrofracking and fracking, as well as the safety of fracking brine disposal methods like injection of completion fluids into existing well shafts.
Ohio is supposedly known for having some of the strictest regulations overseeing gas and oil drilling, though environmentalists consider that an example ofhow the regulations are failing on the national level rather than a triumph for Ohio.
Also, according to reports, Pensylvania, already experiencing negative environmental effects of the rapidly advancing fracking industry, has tougher regulations than Ohio - proving the "stricter than Ohio's" existing regulatory levels to be inadequate to protect the safety of citizens.
