I don't have the link but the was an article in a supposedly right wing publication that spun a vision of some malthusian post-oil energy impoverished future and it hinged on fracking not being profitable. I'm not sure what type of parasite one must have to see fracking floundering because too much oil and use that to support a future without oil.

The impact of fracking has compensated for and fairly rapidly. The amount of fresh water used and fouled water created has been rapidly reduced since fracking became a thing. Most of the gains come from obvious fixes particularly storing and reusing the waste water.
And furthermore flammable tap water is literally a media created fantasy. Natural gas is a gas that exists naturally. The same areas where it exists naturally in greater amounts are also areas where fracking is possible. In areas where natural gas exists in greater amounts you need to line your water well with material that is impermeable to natural gas. If that lining fails you get flammable tap water. It's been that way since before fracking.
There is no future without oil.
What do these types think plastic is?
