Just so you know...

Several newspapers keep printing statements such as "hydraulic fracing has been taking place for 60 years"...

There are a few things wrong with this statement:

1) HORIZONTAL fracing has NOT been taking place for 60 years.
2) Chemicals being used now, were not always used.  (Why else would a loophole be needed?!)
3) You journalists know this. 

Now, do something about it.
