 Do you live near a oil or gas fracking project? If so, what are your main concerns?

In news from Texas, the CEO of Exxon Mobil has joined a lawsuit against
a fracking-related project due to fears it could affect the value of
his multimillion-dollar home. Exxon is the largest gas producer in the
United States, relying heavily on fracking, which involves blasting
water and chemicals deep into shale rock. But The Wall Street Journal
reports CEO Rex Tillerson has joined a lawsuit to block a water tower
in Bartonville, Texas, that would provide water for fracking, on the
grounds it would create a "noise nuisance and traffic hazards."
Residents of other fracked areas have complained about the industry's
other impacts, including the poisoning of their water by toxic
chemicals.
