Why does the industry insist on these methods. There are propane, CO2, and other methods that use far less water and do way less enviormental damage. What it boils down to is money. With prices down, investors are much more conservative and operators dont want to spend when there are cheaper methods. The problem is, money can't replace the enviorment. At some point we will have to quit sacrificing enviormental quality for the all mighty dollar. I think that the concerns are that hydraulic methods by comparison are more damaging to the enviorment.
