Critics’ latest fracking claim goes biblical

Fracking has been blamed for everything from illness to earthquakes to water contamination.
But the latest accusation is a bit out of this world.
The Philadelphia Weekly posted a story about fracking with a bit of a twist — what if fracking isn’t a process to develop the U.S.’s natural resources but a satanic ritual.
Here is the comment in all of its absurdity:
“I started thinking,” the user writes, “who really knows what the real purpose of these ‘deep well injection programs’ really is? They are boring down into the Earth and making earthquakes and flammable water – how do we know that this isn’t some sort of deep-Earth Satanic ritual?”
No, Virginia, hydraulic fracturing isn’t some massive conspiracy by the Prince of Darkness.
Clearly, this isn’t a mainstream idea, but it is just absurd enough that we had to point out. Please forgive us for being a bit lighthearted.
