Mentioning groundwater contamination associated with the extractive industries is like waving a red flag in front of their shills. It draws them out into the sunlight with their ad hominem and specious flavors of demagoguery. 

By all means, wave your hands around. Try your version of the Jedi mind trick. But the issues mentioned are as fundamental as Physics and Chemistry, and if you don't believe in and fear the scenario laid out here, then you're outing yourself as a Flat-Earther cultist. There's no place for such irrationality and denial of truth in an Enlightened conversation, is there? What they'll never admit is that the reason they fight so zealously against good stewardship is because this business model could not operate as it does under such a framework. The schizm and cognitive dissonance remains the unresolved US crisis that has only built up to great intensity over the last four decades.

You can't continue with the lies and myopia. You can't. It's the end of the road.
