If it messes up water supply, don’t frack.
It always does depend on who you ask. If you ask someone who knows what they are talking about with the scientific knowledge and the experience to speak intelligently, they will tell you that fracking does not affect drinking water.
If you ask the environmental lobby who are completely ignorant of the technology and have no experience, they will deliberately lie and mislead you to think that it does harm drinking water. The press, naturally, listens to the ignorant liars, people of their own ilk.
Throw down the gauntlet to these tree-huggers-—until you come up with a cleaner, more efficient way of getting these much-needed resources out of the ground, we’re going to keep on fracking. Just saying “No” is unacceptable.
Fracking is not new....Only the politicians have changed. It’s all about taxes!!

I’m profrackin’ so does that make me a bad person? Some of the anitfrackers have already started the fear mongering here in NV. Not only will the profrackers RUIN the water, we’re gonna be responsible for an increase in ERFQUAKE activity too. Shame on me. Now it all this frickin’ frackin’ would kindly lower my fuel bill................. I know, I know. It doesn’t mean my bill will go down. Ever. Maybe.
Frack, Frack, Frack, then Frack some more.
The biggest problem that the Enviro’s have with Fracking (and horizontal drilling) is that it puts more energy in the hands of the people at a cheaper price. The Enviro’s are hoping that we all go back to the stone-age, and new energy technologies are preventing that.
Well if the lefties want to do something to oppose the fag-hater Putin, they will support Fracking now.
“Frack Baby, Frack”
Previously, Ann McElhinney had made documentaries for the BBC, CBC (Canada) and RTE (Ireland). McElhinney and her team had made two prior movies about what McElhinney characterized as “environmental scares.” After seeing Gasland, they decided that they needed to look into the matter... The movie they made is FrackNation, which recently debuted in theaters in Los Angeles and New York. The movie has not received a fond reception amongst the anti-fracking crowd. That crowd made a claim the film was funded by you know who -- the Koch brothers. As the producers delineate in the film, all of the money was raised on Kickstarter. If you go to the website you can see that as of March 2, 2014, they raised $212,266 for the project.Liberals lie, because liberals are liars.
I used to Frack. But that ended shortly after my wedding day.
The Saudis are paying for all the anti-fracking propaganda.
The whole well water contamination schtick was rampant in my area. It was very difficult to change some peoples minds that their "well" was not tapped down to 6000 ft. Out my way, Marcellus fracks from 6000 to 4000 depths in a spider web type pattern. There are now three fracking rigs in a 10 mile square area and let me tell you, all sorts of new toys are showing up around this area and lots of home improvements. The royalties are kicking in.
Side note, does anyone know (realistically) how long a well can actually produce for? (broad question, I know, just looking for an average is all).
Natural gas in a drinking water well is nothing new.
A couple decades ago I worked in SW CO. A customer showed me how he could light his well tap water. Very proud of the show, he was.
He even collected it to run his cooking stove. Found out later this was probably a really dangerous thing for him to do, unless he had learned how to do it right. Asphyxiation and explosion risk.
