They do have Rights, and the ability to better negotiate.
Personally, I'd rather live near a pipe line, than suffer the effects of exploratory fragging. Where are States Rights there? Is there even uniformity in the chemicals used?
Isn't it mostly high pressure water used for fracking? My understanding is that they fear the possible oil that may leak out with the water as it drains. I have seen stories that show there has been no proof of any such contamination thus far. Admittedly I dunno much on this subject though.
No.
NYC Study Warns of Dangers of Hydrofracking | HeatingOil.comWhile it could technically be done using just water, thats costly and inefficient; hyrdrofracking works much betterand is kinder to drilling companies bottom lineswhen chemicals such as diesel fuel, methanol, hydrochloric acid, and formaldehyde are added to the mix. Since the whole purpose of hydrofracking is to force open channels in rock to facilitate the upward movement of liquids and gases, it should be no surprise that despite drillers best efforts, hydrofracking chemicals get out into the environment.
Thanks for the info. Based on that I say if its relatively safe with water then allow it but restrict the use of any other chemicals that aren't natural to the environment.
