Euphemisms and mis-representation!

We now read in an article in Le Monde which you can read here:-

http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2013/01/22/gaz-de-schiste-ne-dites-plus-fracturation-mais-massage-de-la-roche_1820407_3244.html

 

- that having so far failed to come up with viable alternatives to the dirty business of hydraulic fracking, industry chiefs are.................seeking to call it something else entirely! Perhaps they think we are all totally stupid?

One bright spark ( actually the CEO of a major Oil and Gas concern ) speaks of 'massaging the rock', another of 'stimulation' and yet another of 'brumisation' which we understand to be.......spraying.
