As the country awaits results from a nationwide safety study on the natural gas drilling process of fracking, a separate government investigation into contamination in a place where residents have long complained that drilling fouled their water has turned up alarming levels of underground pollution.

A pair of environmental monitoring wells drilled deep into an aquifer in Pavillion, Wyo., contain high levels of cancer-causing compounds and at least one chemical commonly used in hydraulic fracturing,

Of all of the quadrillions of barrels of oil that the earth has produced, and is still producing I might add, only a small fraction of it is trapped into what we call fields. The rest, Heaven forbid, makes it to the surface due to buoyancy and is a naturally-occuring substance. Ever seen a satellite photo of the Gulf of Mexico on a calm day and seen all of the oil slicks? They ain't from BP.

Let’s get independent verification as the EPA has an agenda and the current regime a proven track record of falsifying data to fit their agenda.

Trouble spots, firms, and people? How about Pavilion, Wyoming area, the EnCana Corporation, and the EPA?

Read # 52 and 76 “genius”. You might actually learn something about the subject, while you are so rapidly making a fool of yourself.

And by all means, ask us a few questions, we would love to debat you on our level. Just remember, you had better be able to back it up.

While I’m not familiar with the pictures, it was well known that prior to the Gulf spill, much natural oil leaked into the water. Over possibly millions of years, that’s how nature learned how to cope with it. Busting the oil up with detergent and solvent like they did in the Gulf spill hopefully hastened this process, but the natural resources to digest it were already there. By the way what has been going on with the Gulf and the spilled oil, whatever’s left of it?

Any burning questions you want to know about the process?

Yeah Dr. Fracenstein, why is Dick Cheney trying to kill all the children and minorities? ;)

Nice to meet someone who thinks that technology is infallible. Those who say that something is "impossible" are invariably the ones who end up with egg on their faces...

You can bet yer Bippy on that one ;-)

Spent most of my youtuh in the Oklahoma Oil fields. My pops even had a acidizing company until of course the Windfall profits tax sucked the money out of the oil patch back in the late 70’s early 80’s.

Nice to meet someone who wants to smear and only under pressure will begin to even approach stating specific events that can then be debated about. It’s hard to debate Judgments from On High, after all, which is Handy for You.

Did you happen to read the article? Your stream-of-consciousness posts are causing me to wonder...

Because of that millions of years of seepage, a whole biological system has evolved to consume it. It takes care of itself as quickly as it happens.

The remains of the BP spill were consumed the same way, and much faster than originally estimated. Much like Prince William Sound. The spill cleaned itself up in less than a year.

The damage the cleanup effort did by steaming the rocks and soaping the beaches, etc, did far more damage to the environment than the spill ever thought of doing. I was there on that one also.

Did you find any independent authority backing up the EPAllegations?

And wonder all you want, we do not care about your wondering. It has no weight here.

Nice graphic.
Based on the prevailing track record of the EPA, I distrust them and can not take any of their claims seriously. I can not think of an exception where any of their claims did not support the far leftist agenda at the expense of the American people. And it is getting worse. And I'll say this. They lie. The EPA lies like Obama, like Holder, like Clinton, Carter, Pelosi, Reid, etc. It's what progressives do.

 


Beam me to Planet Gore !
