Ask oil and gas industry advocates, environmentalists and regulators about the biggest issues facing shale gas development, and none are likely to cite the possibility of fracking fluids traveling up thousands of feet of rock into groundwater aquifers as their top concern. There's surface spills, transportation accidents, leaks in holding tanks and impoundments - all of these have much more potential to pollute groundwater.
