Global warming has pretty much been debunked. Time for the next crisis.

I agree with you.

Our universe, galaxy and solar system have been around a LONG time.
We've only been keeping track of weather for ONLY a little while, in cosmic time. We just don't know the full circle, if there even is one.

Guessology.

Don’t forget low sudsing soap.

I use to sell Amway LOC Soap for use in fracking, when I lived in Oklahoma .....where the wind comes sweeping down the plain wind...

“a phenomenal use of fresh water ... once chemicals are added is lost to the system”

Whaaat? Any time chemicals are added to water, it’s “lost”?
Lost to the “system”? To the ecosystem?
Gee, physics were never my strong suit but I thought matter couldn’t be destroyed, just changed, and it retained its essential characteristics.
You add sodium chloride to water, it evaporates, rises spirit-like into the sky where it turns into salt-free rain. Water.

I get it. Since Putin ran rings around Barry, the Rooskies think they can screw with us ... well, hmmm, harrumph.

The Russian media is courting the wrong people in America. It’s Obama and the liberals who want to impose on Russia.

Bullshit..Fracking happens on average approx 6000ft below surface. You are NOT getting your drinking water from there (think about it, how much would a rural let alone semi-rural home cost if you had to tap a 4000ft well? A 1000 ft well will spiral your finances) and you probably don’t want to; it’ll taste like crap -stagnant-.
Beyond which, the fracking that is mostly done is encased in a multi-casm back filled “channel” of sorts to prevent loss of what “the evil energy companies” are trying to recover in the first place...

Tired of these assholes...

“I wonder why Democrats want to stop it.”

Cheap energy means freedom of movement.

You don’t have to live in a city like a bunch of sardines in a can.

You can live out of the city and commute.

People that don’t live in cities are more independent in their lives and independent thinkers, which can’t be allowed in the liberal utopia.

In liberal utopia, everyone must think the same and be dependent on the govt to take care of them.

Same with SUV’s.

They gives people the freedom to get off the paved roads and not be dependent on the govt to control where you go.

Funny, I don’t recall hearing about contaminated water from fracking. There must have been thousands of news stories about all the contaminated water and wells that I must have missed. I am deficient!

The natural gas we get from fracking has caused us to come into compliance with the Kyoto Protocol without even trying.

We meet the Roosians half way. We love their yummy mail order brides. The ones under 30. Who haven’t become large and hairy.

But one thing we deny them ... we deny them our essence. No to the Yankee mojo.

Several of the opponents that organized against Industrial Wind Turbines here are die-hard liberals. We have doctors, lawyers, teachers, librarians, businessmen, and everyday people realizing that their home will be worth 20-50% less the minute these farms are built.

The difference between here and other windfarms, is that they are putting them within 1250 feet of peoples houses.

If they succeed, our community will be the highest concentration of turbines amongst the highest populated of any county in the Country.

They already managed to get 100 of them in before everyone realized just how obnoxiously huge and noisy they are.

And this is some of the best farmland in the Country. Over $10,000/acre and no need for irrigation.

This house is about 10 miles from me. They can be seen from more than 15 miles.

Breathing threatens life on earth as we know it! (At least, I’m sure the lefty alarmists think so.)

Fracking usually takes place at 15,0000 feet depth, water is usually found at around 1,000 feet. so fracking is taking place at about 3 miles below the water.

That photo really captures what those things look like.

They remind me that when the left started spending tax dollars for art, they seemed to want the biggest, ugliest, most space dominating art pieces that they could find to put into the public spaces.

All this anti fracking crap is being funded by the OPEC and Russian interests. Texas , meanwhile is expected to double oil production by 2020. Some folks don’t want America to be energy independant
