I love the environment as much as the next guy. More than most, in fact. I even try not to litter or tinkle in golf course ponds (usually), or cut down trees, unless they piss me off.
So I don't make fun of water pollution.
Usually.
But this is really fraking funny if you're a BSG nerd. Fraking (originally spelled "Fracking"), to put it as delicately as possible, is synonymous with sexual congress. More rudely put, it's a safe way to drop the F-bomb on network television, and means EXACTLY the same thing in the context of the show.

You will NEVER be able to convince me that Miguel Llanos isn't a Battlestar Galactica fan with a 12 year old sensibility with quotes like these (go ahead, embrace your inner 7th grader):
"The EPA emphasized that the findings are specific to the Pavillion area, noting that the specific type of fracking used there differed from fracking methods used elsewhere in regions with different geological characteristics."
"The EPA is separately working on a national study of fracking."
"We have to be literally insane to contemplate fracking,"
"Fracking has opened up areas that were previously considered too costly to drill."
"The industry contends that fracking is safe and its supporters were quick to blast the EPA."
Seriously? "Blast" the EPA? That's the climax of your article? The happy ending? You couldn't find other language for that, Miguel? Even I'm embarrassed for you, and I'm an immature, giggling little child.

This is my 3rd attempt at posting from my new Droid... if you don't count the hour or so I spent screwing around "pinching" the browser screen and trying to navigate Joomla's "submit article" interface.
