Summary:
In this article, state environmental regulators found that water in Indiana county had an alarming level of radiation in it. This is thought to be because of the fracking on the nearby shale formation called Marcellus. The chemicals used for fracking are thought to have leaked out during the fracking process and contaminated the aquifer nearby that supplies water to the nearby households.
This is just an example to support my opinion on fracking. If it gets any bigger, this will start to happen in more towns which will cause major problems for a ton of people in the northeast. Considering that is where I live, I have an issue with this.

I couldn't even find an author for this article, so I feel like that means I shouldn't use it as a source
