Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our panellists today.
Mr. Ingraffea, I'll stay with you.
We've heard from industry people involved with this technology, and they tell us essentially to relax; they've been at it for years, and there should be no concerns over the fracking or the waste waters. I'm wondering why that assuages some within the industry. You say in New York it wasn't...but in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the western part of Canada, that seems to have worked.
What is so fundamentally different about what the industry is up to with this non-conventional source of natural gas compared with its other drilling operations in the oil and gas sector?
