Fracking

[thereisnospoon]

It's not hard to see that the Wingnuts have no problem ruining the earths resources as long as it.....

a. Doesn't affect them personally, and

b. Someone can make a buck

But just ask them to pony up a couple of dollars to clean up any mess this creates (that they supported) and just listen to them holler. (Kinda like the Iraq War)

.

Stop crying alligator tears.

Funny things happen when you post facts...ppl run

You must be joking? Wind and solar only works when there's wind or sun.

We need fracking to run our civilization. You do know what a civilization is?

 

[Mr. H.]

Hydraulic fracturing is ok. EPA said as much.
Get over yourselves. And get the fuck out.

What have we got to replace it with that does not cost us up the ying yang to use?

The Technology will be found and in the meantime we use the cheapest that we can get and yes there is going to be some accidents and some pollution but not massive amounts.
Getting people jobs is much more important right now.

Natural Gas is the cleanest we have right now to use.

Actually, the question would be simpler: What do we have to replace fossil fuels, regardless of cost?

Nothing.

But this is what "Peak Oil" seems to be based upon: Fossil fuels will suddenly disappear and human populations will be thrown into some sort of apocolyptical chaos. While this allows for idiotic imaginations to run wild, you need to completely divorce yourself from any rational judgement. This not a high hurdle for many in the anti-natural resources development community.

how many hours per day

or how days a month is anyone willing to go

without electricity

the alternative green energies

do not have the ability to compensate for demand usage

like when it is really hot or really cold

if we drop using fossil fuels

that is a question to be asked

and answered

They'll keep fracking until there isn't a clean source of groundwater anywhere in America.

They cannot help themselves. They're sick, sick people.

Greed is a mental disease.

And this in world's leadership classes, it's a pandemic.

Like the greed you feel as you're driving down the highway, or heating your home?

Fracking has been around for 60 years.
If it really did contaminate ground water, we would already not have any clean groundwater.

I think it's greed when the left want to push high priced fuel, so that our poor and middle class can not afford to heat their homes.

People who want to feed their kids and heat their homes are greedy and must be stopped!

None. I don't use an electric can opener or the garbage compactor. That's my contribution. People should save all they can, but use what they need. I think lights improve people's spirits and warmth in winter helps prevent serious bouts bronchitis and pneumonia in people with chronic immune diseases like diabetes, arthritis, MS, COPD, fibromyalgia, and cancer.

According to who? "Cause I said so" Magazine?

Seriously? 16 families vs. your claim of millions?
Seriously? By not completely properly they were not following regulations.
The object of fracking properly itself had nothing to do with the failure.

Whoa whoa there, that was the OP that claimed Millions.
The number doesnt matter...First it was "one family" and everyone said big whoop
It was one spill - Big deal
More than one spill - Still small, get over it
More than one family - Who cares
Your family - Wait a damn minute! Something needs to be done!
Spilled on your land - HEY!! THIS IS A PROBLEM GOTTDAMMIT!

The number doesnt matter, even if it was millions as long as you arent one of the millions its not a big deal...Water travels tho.

Second point, no need to argue lets call them regulations...we can call it apple pie but thats not the point that we disagree on.

So ,according to your logic, if a specific beef packing company has a lot (not alot) of tainted beef due to their not following regulations properly that is sold and that company must pull their beef the others should as well as you never know when they may have tainted beef because they might not follow all regulations either. Makes no sense at all.

Lets stick with the fracking topic since I've proved you wrong already...actually, if you read your own article before posting it you wouldn't have proven yourself wrong.

It was no spills, no families affected....Its several spills and 16 families in that one area affected. Change your mind, nope. You're for it and the number of ppl it affects is just an excuse you use and change. Noone affected, ok just one guy...Ok, ok Around 10 big deal!....16 Families...yeah, but just 16 tho.

No number matters when an excuse is all you have
