  1. Would you let an oil company frack on your land?
  2. Any concern with environmental issues or is it just another job?
  3. Is it as noisy and annoying as people say?
  4. Have you ever witnessed local water supply contamination?
  5. Do you think the industry understates the dangers while environmentalists overstate it or is the current debate an accurate depiction of reality?

I'll clarify questions 4. By contamination, I mean water catching on fire as a result of fracking, as is often contended by local residents that are up in arms against the industry.

EDIT: I realize the oil industry gets a lot of flack and little recognition of the real efforts made to minimize environmental impact. All it takes is one BP to set everything back 20 years. I own oil stocks and I have no moral or ethical issue with it.
