Marcellus Fracking Means Farewell to Dems in 2020

As President Trump's speech at the Shale Insight Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Wednesday noted, Joe Biden's mythical claim that Trump inherited a booming economy from President Obama falls flat in the face of the reality that this is Trump's economy, fueled by deregulation, tax cuts, cutting of EPA shackles, and a booming energy industry allowed to use the latest technology to free a seemingly endless supply of oil and natural gas from the earth under our feet. The conference was staged by some very appreciative energy groups such as the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, and the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association.

Fracking does not cause earthquakes. Nor does it taint well water. The mixture used to fracture shale is in fact a benign blend of 90% water, 9.5% sand, and 0.5% chemicals such as the sodium chloride of table salt and the citric acid of the orange juice you had for breakfast.

Shale formations in which fracking is employed are thousands of feet deep. Drinking water aquifers are generally only 100 feet deep. There is a lot of solid rock between them.

Pfffftttt! Greta would disagree with a hearty "HOW DARE YOU!" :-)

“What does Marcellus Fracking look like?”
“What?”
“Say What again! I dare you!”

Leading that pack of Dark Age advocates is Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Great article by John Sobieski. Thanks for posting. HOORAY Chief

Just think...we don't have to start an energy department inside of the Dept. of Energy...The Department of Candles. Cost savings...win/win.

Fracking does not cause earthquakes.

A new study out of Texas shows that may not always be true. Very minor impacts, if any, but the enviro-fascists will tout it as proof that fracking will cause impacts similar to an earthquake on the San Andres fault.

New Mexico works ‘proactively’ with oil and gas after earthquakes tied to fracking in West Texas

Saw this post from you the other day. Sad dang state of affairs ain’t it. Dark ages here we come. NOT!

Thanks.

Texas (1,499,000 jobs lost), Pennsylvania (466,000), Ohio (397,000), and Colorado (215,000) would see more than a combined 2.5 million jobs lost from a fracking ban alone over that span, the report said, taking into consideration its effect on energy prices, incomes, manufacturing, and energy security[.] ...

These numbers don’t even take into consideration the thousands of jobs denied to New York State residents due to Cuomo’s ban of fracking in the huge Marcellus tract that also underlies the State’s southern tier.

Enrgy? You don’t need no steenkin’ enegy.

Best to know in advance what the next untrue, over-hyped non-disaster story the enviros will come up with.

LOL! I’m such a skeptic about a lot of stuff.

OK, but the question is, how deep are the wells they inject the waste water into? And how leaky are the waste water wells?

The mixture used to fracture shale is in fact a benign blend of 90% water,
9.5% sand, and 0.5% chemicals such as the sodium chloride of table salt
and the citric acid of the orange juice you had for breakfast.

The brine that is injected is not the issue...the problem is what is pumped
out...this stuff is full of all kinds of nasty stuff (Arsenic, heavy metals, etc.)
and must be handled very carefully. It is anything but benign. I am 100%
for fracking as my family owns a lot of land in the shale region and it is a
big part of the US being energy independent, but that sentence is just plain
dishonest.

Don't confuse us with FACTS, dammit! We KNOW yinz guys are DESTORYING THE PLANET! Because......socialism n'at.

I was at one of these shale fracking confabs a few years ago. The place was crawling with state and local politicians. DEMOCRAT politicians. All of them having visible multiple orgasms about the new revenue streams that were headed their way.

Nobody is gonna be stopping any fracking around here.

The waste water injection wells are well below the water table.

Cassius Marcellus Clay would frack his critics if he was alive.
