Hi @Hornbein:Hornbein said:Fracking adds about 300 million dollars a DAY to the US economy.
Does the $3M per day include the costs of dealing with environmental aside effects?
One of the peculiarities of commonly used economic statistics, e.g., GDP, is that negatives like making an environmental mess that requires expensive clean-up adds to the GDP, if the clean-up actually ever happens. If illness is caused, then the costs of corresponding medical care is also added to the GDP.
