At some point there would even be a weakening of tort to further shield businesses from responsibility for their actions.

This is an important point. If the individuals involved in fracking were held responsible for bad out-comes instead of being shielded it would be done much better. The antis need to stick to the facts though. There has been so much made up left-wing stuff especially in my county that they are no longer being taken seriously at all.
