Fracking is NOT a drilling technique. It is a well completion method which enhances oil recovery.

When the media are so incredibly ignorant of even such fundamentals, you are guaranteed even more ignorance in the rest of the article.

I'm sure they're talking about assault fracking.

Collier County is wealthy, Republican, and conservative, with the Golden Gate area being relatively working class and more affordable in its housing costs. Local sentiment will tend to strongly favor fracking as a potential source of revenue and employment.

Check this out:

At first I thought it was an editorial. Then I looked, it's signed by "EnvironmentFlorida."

At the bottom of the article, it says yet if you click on the link..you get a PAGE NOT FOUND.

We need to do a little research..What's "EnvironmentFlorida" and what is the Bradenton Times...

“I am of the impression the river of grass has been nearly destroyed by the rebuilding of aligator alley?
raised freeway working like a dyke preventing water flow to Florida Bay.”

“Dykes” is precisely the word. The Enviro-whacko dykes, Nancy Boyz, and rest of the ‘usual suspects’ in the Environmental Freak Show have turned the Everglades into an object lesson on the dangers of allowing government to own land to ‘protect’ it.

Here’s my “Modest Proposal of the Day”:
Fund Liberal Programs By Doubling The Taxes Of Democrats.

The credit/debit cards of all registered Democrats would be coded “Double this account’s tax”. And it would be so debited.

Bias is right. No kidding. Particularly that sinkhole in Louisiana: Didn't know they were drilling for oil atop a salt formation.../s (not like facts are hard to find)

What a logo, too

“Then you drive down the trail and see the impenetrable jungley swamp on the south side and you wonder about the feasibility of snake hunts for bounty.”

Control of unwanted societal pests by bounty works well, be the pest a person or a python. Doubters are invited to ask the ghost of Jessie James about the efficacy of bounty hunters.

Why no bounty on pythons?

Because money paid for bounties on dead pythons is money not spent on bureaucrats occupying a government position at the Democratic feeding trough!

What do you want, dead pythons or a bumper crop of Democratic bureaucrats?

Well?

;-)

Good morning.

I stopped right here: “Fracking,” a dangerous and destructive gas drilling technique

And in the fwiw department, there are about 60 operational oil wells in the Everglades right now.

5.56mm

Are you talking about Bayou Corne? How is that related?

What nonsense. The Bayou Corne sinkhole was in not related to drilling. It was a salt dome cavern being leached for Brine Water. They encroached on a side wall and it collapsed. No hydraulic fracturing was involved.

I dont think it is so much that as it is of how uninformed all sides are. Inaccuracies should be called out no matter the side if one is trying to push an agenda [in this case a good one] and utilizing less than truthful tactics...in this instance her statement leads one to believe that absolutely no drilling is taking place....Call all of them out...I personally dont trust a single one of them

“Fracking,” a dangerous and destructive gas drilling technique”....

Nothing like setting the stage for defining your opinion.

BS her statement was clear. “We can drill safely anywhere, even in the Everglades”.

A bunch of ethics free scumbags jumped all over her because they saw a means to attack. Nothing more.

“Fracking,” a dangerous and destructive gas drilling technique, has used 250 billion gallons of water and 2 billion gallons of chemicals since 2005,

I'm not sure what their point is here, when they say used they seem to be trying to imply that the water has now disappeared and no longer exists.

Lake Peigneur was a spectacular screw up in Louisiana. The drillers drilled into a salt mine and drained the lake in a matter of hours.

I believe in the end it was blamed on inaccurate maps and a lack of communication.

I personally would have paid real money to be able to sit on shore and watch.

Was the video talking about the event from 1980?
