Fracking can present serious risk to the groundwater depending on the geological formations.
(look who I saying this to, duh). Tread lightly?

depends upon whom you ask....I think in certain cases, it well might if doing it very shallow

Look into it closer. The aquifers are usually pretty shallow compared to how deep the wells go when extracting gas n oil. The well is cased in steel and cement. Then tested for its bond between the two. I am not saying water has never been contaminated and it wont happen again, but it is a pretty safe bet compared to how much more product can be extracted.

I wouldn't believe anything a guy in a green hard hat has to say. Reminds me of turtles effin. He doesn't even have a company name on the front of it. Obviously hasn't been in the field very long.
