Spotts, Pete. "Fracking wastewater contaminated Pennsylvania streambeds, study finds." Christian Science Monitor 2 Oct. 2013. Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
Summary:
This article talks about how contaminated water is being discovered all across Pennsylvania. In some spots, the water is so contaminated that the radium 226 is water (not good) is 200 percent more than it should be. This is happening because the companies that are fracking in the area aren't taking the time to do it safely and it ends up causing harm to the community.
Again, this is just an example of the negative effects of fracking. I don't know about you, but I'll take fresh water flowing to my house then 30 cents off of gas prices. I just don't see how the rewards add up here.

Pete Spotts has been a member of the Christian Science Monitor since 1976 so he is very credible in anything scientific.
