according to most people I know in the industry, the problem isn't from seeping chemicals up through the cracked rock (for about a mile straight up), but from the casings surrounding the well through the water table failing. That's why it happens about 2 percent of the time and not every time.

That said, until they show they can clean up their mess AND they put in bonds to cover the costs, I'll be in favor of a moratorium.
