Good stuff, thanks for posting. Eventually we're going to have to get off oil, but until the cleaner energy sources become economically viable without subsidies, we need to increase our oil and natural gas production.

How the hell does natural gas cause cancer?

If you are talking about the fracking fluids, yes they have to make sure they collect them properly when they reach back to the surface. they also have to make sure the well pipe liner is structurally sound.
Hydro fracking can be done safely if rules are followed. THATS the job of regulators, using regulations that are both conservative when it comes to safety, and reasonable when it comes to scope.
Uh, let's see. Before the gas company drilled, no fire came out of the kitchen faucet. After they drilled, by coincidence, fire pours out of the kitchen faucet, but they are totally unrelated. The same thing happens again and again, everywhere they "fracture", but it's totally coincidence. Yea, I believe that. Uh huh.

It's the more than 50 chemical used in the process.

Chemicals used in 'fracking' often a mystery at spill cleanup time - News - The Times-Tribune
The report comes two and a half months after an initial report by the same three lawmakers that found that 32.2 millions of gallons of fluids containing diesel, considered an especially hazardous pollutant because it contains benzene, were injected into the ground during hydrofracking by a dozen companies from 2005 to 2009, in possible violation of the drinking water act.

The Bush administration exempted drilling for natural gas from any oversight. So who knows what damage it causes? Bush, the gift that just keeps on giving.

why is it a good thing to do that without examining what the potential for environmental damage is.
Not bad.
My personal bet is at sixty dollars a barrel it will work environment be damned. Think at one sixty they can probably do it right?
Still though, we probably will not run out during my life time.
