First, there are regulatory agencies in every state that monitor the drilling activities for wells. You better not get caught leaving the area your leased. They will make you close it in. Second, a directional well is going to be less than two miles horizontally. So you wouldn't get very far across the state line.
As far as Oklahoma, we have used fracing on thousands of wells for forty years. We're still here. We're still intact. No fire water here.
It's a standard good versus evil plot. Hollywood uses it a lot because it has happened many times in human history. If you are waiting for an original plot to come out of Hollywood you better not hold your breath.
The difference is that Cameron didn't force anybody to do anything. If the hapless movie goers saw the movie it was because they chose to use their disposable income. If it was the right decision or wrong decision it doesn't matter. It was theirs to make.
LOLOL You should be a fiction writer. That's a very good job imposing your religious/ethnic beliefs on two different types of stories. Have you ever heard the old saying "If you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? That means you are limited/blinded by your perceived circumstances and view every situation in life through those constraints.
Saying that would be like me watching the nightly Detroit news and saying "black people suck", and about tonight's events "black people suck against each other", which is equally weird because the anchor man is black.
The truth is not a single ethic group on earth is perfect. All have fought wars amongst themselves and against other groups. We kill, rape, and pillage to take what we want. Need some examples? Open a history book, pick a time frame, and read stuff that is more shocking than a fiction writer could ever hope to come up with. Cameron was simple modeling the future on our past.
Then you shouldn't judge a book by its cover/a movie by its trailer. This movie has a stunning look to it. If you think all creatures that have blue skin are nothing but smurfs you have a very limited mind. Grow up, open your mind, and go see the movie.
I've seen the movie twice and I'm a software engineer for a living. This movie is not making a statement about technology. It is making a statement that it is wrong to try to impose one peoples' way of living onto another people simply because they have something worth taking. It is sheer human arrogance that has been repeated throughout our history. It is highlighted by the statements in the movie shortly before the attack that stated (paraphrased) "that we tried to give them schools and roads." That is simply saying everything we do is better than anything you do. How many times has that been done on our dear Earth? As everyone knows, the movie itself was made with the most advanced technology to date. The plot involved using the most advanced technology in the future. But it was not the technology causing the problem. It was the greed driven decisions of the administrative and militant groups.

Very good points. If the process works very well, they will go around 1,000 feet. Given they are below layers of impermeable rock, it's not an issue.
