>> How safe, how secure, how good can  fracking and drilling be if insurance companies will not insure property in a fracking zone?
>> 
>> This really hits home with people because their home is their safe zone. Need to harp on this, I think, as a preventive tactic to keep fracking out. Third party leases are the oil company's in, so what is a neighbor, neighborhood, community to do to protect itself. What legal action can the now uninsurable take to protect themselves?
>> 
>>  Does a municipality have some kind of insurance that protects its community against harm and damages to its public works, infrastructure by private companies renting or leasing space in the community? Does the private company have insurance that will cover any damages it may cause to property, roads, etc? Seems to me that if the city, county is going to collect taxes, charge fees, money is exchanged  a contract is involved and proof of insurance would, could, should be a condition that is necessary before any money exchanges hands and occupancy is allowed. And if no is the answer to these questions then why not seems the appropriate next question that needs an answer.
>> 
>> Fracking's biggest selling point is all the jobs and revenue it will bring into a community. Got to bust that myth and the truth be told gets the job done in my opinion.
