See that little blue line on top. That's where your water comes from.
BARF Alert
would have been nice.........
Color me highly skeptical. I work with IR every day, and you normally can't see gases with it.
My wife works in that industry... I’m just happy she has a frackin’ job.
Despite all these supposedly “polluted” wells, the EPA still claims there is not one case of a water well contaminated by hydraulic fracturing.
These wells do not exist!
Psychology is powerful. People get sick and develop all sorts of ailments because they THINK they are being poisoned.
If you do not establish a baseline test for your water, you cannot claim “contamination” after drilling.....but this is what liberals have done.
The latest tactic is that everything is “fracking”. Drilling is “fracking”. Pipelines are “fracking”. Truck traffic is “fracking”.
Knowing the left, I predict they will burn-out the term by overuse.
Meanwhile, the industry is reminding people that clean, domestic natural gas, produced by American workers earning above-average wages is what every environmentalist begged for.......until we found a near-limitless supply under our feet.
Remember, environmentalists were all in favor of wind power until the cost/benefit analysis started looking good. Now, environmentalists oppose windmills because they affect birds, harm bats and are an eyesore.

My gosh!
I worked as engineer in the petroleum industry for my whole career, and I never before heard of a “drilling activist”.
And speaking of choices of words, we (or a service company) pumped water, ‘chemicals’, and sand under sufficient pressure to fracture tight formations. Don’t remember ever hearing about ‘blasting’ water, etc into formations.
The ludites have given up on ‘Gorebal Warming’ now they want to scare people with the evils of fracking.
These are people who expect the state to take care of them. They don’t know how anything gets built, they don’t have any idea what it takes to make the world work.
They just know they want theirs, they want you to provide it to them, and then they want you to acknowledge their moral superiority to the people they depend upon for their very lives.
They don’t realize how it backfires. Millions of people work in oil, and therefore millions of people listen to this claptrap and realize that they, and their favorite politicians, are completely full of it. Juvenile, or dishonest, or both.
