And so are you.
Halliburton did NOT invent fracking, that honor goes to the Stanolind oil company.
They invented it 67 years ago, in the Hugoton gas field in Kansas.

So, as usual, your "source" is wrong, and so are you.
Wikipedia says this:
Fracturing as a method to stimulate shallow, hard rock oil wells dates back to the 1860s. Dynamite or nitroglycerin detonations were used to increase oil and natural gas production from petroleum bearing formations.
Comment: But I think wikipedia is also wrong and apparently so are you.
Everyone knows cave men (and women) invented fracking when they dropped rocks from huge cliffs to crack open fissures in the topsoil.
Here is a picture of one right here...
Here are the rocks they fracked.
But it was Dick Cheney who used his position in government for fracking millions of wells while tying the hands of government regulators of realizing its dangers.
You are concerned about who started fracking.
The image I posted was not necessarily about who invented it but who used the process to frack a million wells and who used their position in government to blindside environmental protection regulators from the process that has been so detrimental to our environment.
Using your same logic, Leonardo Da Vinchi invented the airplane not the Wright Brothers...
I stand by the gist, sum and substance of my source...
His company used the fracking method (okay?)
THIS IS THE PART THAT MATTERS
He gets fracking exempt from the clean air act, clean water act and clean drinking water act, then tells you it is safe.
FRACKING IS SAFE?
And what are the chemicals uses in fracking?
Excerpt:
This much is clear: One ingredient, an unidentified solvent, can cause damage to the kidney and liver, according to safety information about the product that Michigan state regulators have on file.

Sound SAFE to you? Would like like a glass of kidney and liver killing water? Are republicans "right"?
You missed the entire point of the image Mysteryman and got hung up on the most trivial part of who invented fracking.
Is my source really "wrong" and is Dick Cheney, err, "right"?
Republicans are wrong and it seems, so are you...
You think you are so right and all it takes is a small bit of digging and one finds you are missing the point entirely.
Now who is being unrealistically partisan? You...
Shall I post some of the thousands of Google articles written about the detrimental effects of fracking on the environment?
Fracking is not only unsafe but should be highly regulated so it does not poison huge swaths of municipal drinking water!
My sources are RIGHT!
