Fracking plant

I wouldn't let someone put a fracking plant near my house because I wouldn't want my water to be ruined.  Also I wouldn't want anyone in my family getting sick from the chemicals in the water.  Some people might say it is a good idea because they could get a job, those people are selfish, it kills people.  If there was a fracking plant near my house I would move or encourage my family to move away from it.
