He isn't against fracking near his home, he probably gets royalty payments. He is against the water company that is selling water using a tower. When we lease our minerals, in recent years the companies that are paying us, usually want us to be happy and cooperative so they will do their best to keep their equipment out of sight or from being a nuisance as best they can.

A lot of the opposition to fracking is not only about the fracking operations themselves but also ancillary externalities such as this person is objecting to.
