Problems start where best solutions must always first be implemented. Peer pressure. Casing failures are major disasters if casing failures are only 5%. Unfortunately the industry is rather lacks about promoting peer pressure on their bad apples.
Also necessary is to define every chemical in that fracking fluid so that all (even generations later) know exactly what was put in there.
The earth is chock full of fissures. That means corrupt fracking companies can know they are creating a disaster. And the disaster does not appear in the drinking water for decades.
Since those chemicals are unknown (a secret), then corrupt fracking companies have little fear about dumping toxic chemicals elsewhere.
First step to addressing the issues and to gain public trust is for fracking companies to be brutal and excessive with their bad apples. No such structure exists. The fracking industry would have you believe the entire industry is good because the other 'apples' try to be honest.
Credibility means the industry viciously attacks and 'corrects' their bad apples. If not, the industry has a serious credibility issue.
