what the Frack is going on here?

When some major aquafer is irerevicably damaged, and when it is time for the miscreants to pay for those damages?

Then you will discover that the FRACKING COMPANIES have been incorporated such that they can go bankrupt leaving the cost of cleanup to the citizens.

This is a perfect system for socializing the cost of the process, while making sure that the profits from it can still get to the MASTERS who own it through a series of legal fictions called corporations.

Really kids this is so typical of the way things get done.

Create cutout corporations to protect the owners who pollute.

Go look at any superfund site and what you will find is that the companies credited with doing that damaage are out of business, devoid of funds and (this is their superpower) they are therfore JUDGEMENT-PROOF.

Meanwhile the money those pro-temp corporations made has left that cutout corporation and is therefore it is beyond the authority of any court to lay claim to it.

And just who is holding the agriculture industry liable for their pollution?
The Nebraska aquifer has been pollusted for decades thanks to farming. And now the enviro-whacks worry about an encased pipeline carrying biogenic liquids?
 
And then there comes this study:

Study: Fracking Doesn't Mess With Drinking Water

DOE study indicates chemical-laced fluids stay well below aquifers

If you live near a fracking site, go pour yourself a nice, clean glass of water, because the Department of Energy is pretty sure it's safe. In a landmark study, federal researchers tagged fracking fluids with special markers at a Pennsylvania drilling site before injecting those fluids into the ground at the standard depth of more than 8,000 feet. They then watched for traces about 3,000 feet above that, and found absolutely nothing during their year of monitoring, indicating that the chemical-laced fluids stayed down—and roughly a mile away from any drinking aquifers, the AP reports.

This report will do nothing to allay the Tree Huggers from fighting this way for us to gain freedom from OPEC. :eusa_whistle::eusa_whistle:
 
Some good news, and some not-so-good news...

RIGZONE - UT: No Evidence of Groundwater Contamination from Hydraulic Fracturing

...which confirms what I've said all along- it's an issue of containment and storage, not the fracking process itself.

Could be the circular logic of the enviro-nauts??

1) We don't know what's in the fracking fluids. Companies ought to be required to state
what they are using..

2) We found evidence of "fracking fluids" in ____________..

Well, that's the longknife and the shortknife of it....
 
Obama administration repeatedly extols the safety and importance of fracturing...

That is pretty standard for these wacko's, they even pull out studies to block renewable projects as they may affect ____________________ species.
 
They're paid off by big natural gas.

Fracking sucks millions of gallons of water
Fracking makes the air fucking stink
fracking causes earthquakes

Why is big natural gas lie so fucking much?

Matthew Grow UP... You've been told that GEOTHERMAL MINING does EXACTLY the same things. Yet it is on your list of CLEAN GREEN renewables.. Geothermal was fracking before fracking was cool.. I expect it will be OFF any lists of Clean Green alternatives now that you've been reminded for the 6th time..

If you wont debate or defend your hypocrisy on things like this and the raptor kill issues for wind --- then NOBODY is gonna take you seriously..

Sierra Club UNDERSTANDS that geothermal is not clean or green.
Audubon Society UNDERSTANDS that Obama Death Certificates for Eagles is wrong.

Those OUTSIDE the enviro consensus on these things are Eco-Frauds with an agenda that ISNT based on enviro science.. Like YOU !!!
 
Fracking is good and technological advances will occur to prevent polluting the locale.
