Russia has been pushing everyone to not go with fracking. They’ve been muscling Europe to forgo it. Of course in the excellent documentary Fracknation, it’s shown how some European retirees will spend a good chunk of their monthly stipend on gas. Russia loves that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’ll probably make your babies be born with no clothes on too.

I wonder why Democrats want to stop it. And they will, if they ever get the chance.

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

The Russkies are worried that their natural gas reserves won’t be worth spit.

Just from the phraseology of the comments, the speaker has little understanding of the topic on a scientific/engineering level. Fracking doesn't create porosity, it connects it with the wellbore and enhances the ability to produce trapped fluids in formerly unconnected pores, for instance.

The lack of fundamental understanding of the process, and the inability to explain it in simple, yet industry standard terminology indicates this person has a very limited knowledge of the topic.

It isn't the geology which is unconventional, it is the reservoirs involved. (etc.).

Just another paid BS artist trying to sway the public with a preponderance of "information".

“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.

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...

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.
