If it messes up water supply, don’t frack.

The question is whether the fracking process harms underground water. It depends on who you ask.

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.

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.

Stoopid liberals want for $15 an hour to work at Taco Bell.

Fracking does that

My bank teller, expert in all things wacko, says fracking is bad. She said that framers In Wyoming could not use their water to water stock because of the white residue. This is called alkali which was in the planes longer than there were people. It is a volcanic residue. Water has been burning over a century also. It gets methane out of coal. These things happen in areas where there has been no fracking.
Fracking is a figment of the low information crowd.

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.

I worked in the oilfield circa 1982. Trust me, they had fracking back then. So it’s been around for at least 30 years.

Fracking is not going to end unless everyone is willing to live in the stone age, because....

90% of all new wells are fracked. The easy stuff has been drilled in general.

Local fracking bans are just money in the bank that will get withdrawn later.

Lisa Jackson, the former Director of the EPA and no friend of oil and gas, twice – yes, twice -- testified to Congress that there is not one case of water contamination from fracking.

The debate is over!

For those who want to see a 6 minute video showing how horizontal drilling and fracking is done, Northern Gas and Oil has done a great one.

It includes a visual piece on how fresh water aquifers are protected from contamination.

Knowledge is power, keep the link and pass it on.

I saw on a TeeVee show (network crime drama) that fracking can cause tap water to become flammable. So it MUST be true.
