Energy Tycoon Dismisses Fracking Concerns, Says It 'Isn't Gonna Hurt Anybody'

[doxydad]

Energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens dismissed environmental concerns about fracking this week, saying it is a long-term viable solution to America's energy needs.

Fracking "isn't gonna hurt anybody. The environmentalists, they moan and groan about it, but when you get down to it, fracking is two miles down below the surface, you’re not gonna damage anything,” Pickens said in an interview with The WorldPost at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California.

“I’ve fracked probably 2,000 wells in my life,” said Pickens, who has made billions in oil and is now investing in natural gas infrastructure. “I’ve never seen any of these things that these people claim are happening when you frack a well.”
