Earthquake

[FlyingV77]

Just wondering if they are fracking for natural gas there. There doing it here in DFW and its causing quakes and water to catch on fire. And they claim its safe

Earthquakes are caused by pressure in the Earth's tutonic plates building up slowly over time and being released all at once. These plates are the size of states (which is why tremors are felt so far away). But apparently you have discovered how spraying underground with a high pressure hose will move billions of tones of land to move. If anything the spraying of areas where presuure is building up would lessen pressure and the resulting earthquake.

Next up how wanting to pay lower taxes causes cancer.

As for water catching on fire I have seen no stories of that happening anywhere. Perhaps you can provide some facts.

Yeah, I've heard of that happening in a few places where fracking is taking place too.

I mean seriously, if the process was as absolutely safe as some tend to imply, you'd think that the name they'd have come up with would have been better than fracking.

That's the way it goes though. Some considerations and legitimate concerns tend to get swept under the carpet when people start seeing all those fracking dollar signs dancing before their eyes.

OK I promise, that's the last time I'm saying fracking..........wait.............OK, starting now..............

...........

The name means it's dangerous. The name comes from the process. The gas is in small pockets of shale/rock. The drillers using high pressure water fractures the rock freeing the gas which is then captured and processed. It is the same process used in other mining all over the world. Do you really think there is a process where people sit around and say this is dangerous we need to pick a name from the dangerous process list. And hell if it were a real conspiracy wouldn't they instead pick a name like flower puppying so as to fool all the brilliant ecoidiots who base their beliefs on the name of the process instead of science?

Are you serious? Have you never seen an episode of Battlestar Gallactica....or looked up the definition of the word "joke" in the dictionary?

And why was that the only part of my post that you responded to? Did the part about the dollar signs making people look the other way make too much sense? Those lawyers you referenced sound like the ones Erin Brockovich faced in the movie made about her.

I am still waiting from my original post about causing earthquakes from you. I would have written more but there comes a point that your arguements get to ignorant and filled with misspellings that to even respond gives them more integrity then they deserve.

As for paid scientists who do you think is paying for the ones who put forth the arguements that agree with the enviromentalists? Then you have Al Gore a tobacco farmer who was pro tobacco before he was against who seems to be the main scientist for man made global warming despite the fact he has no scientific training. Add to that all the destroyed data that the pro man made global warming scientists claim they had that proved their case.

Found it and found this. as a resident of PA and having worked in newspapers for 20+ YEARS I heard quite a lot about the attempt of some land owners to reap huge sums in unprovable lawsuits. A little research goes a long way. Still havent seen how they create earthquakes though

Weld County

In a scene from the film Weld County landowner Mike Markham is shown with director Josh Fox igniting gas from a tap water faucet in his home with a cigarette lighter, which the film attributes to natural gas exploration in the area. In 2008 The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) investigated a complaint made by Markham alleging that nearby natural gas operations impacted his domestic water well.[10] Laboratory tests concluded that Markham’s water well contained biogenic methane, a combustible gas that occurs naturally in underground coal beds.[10] Further investigation revealed that Markham’s water well had been drilled through four different coal beds containing naturally occurring biogenic methane gas. The 2008 investigation concluded that "there [were] no indications of oil & gas related impacts to [Markham's] water well." It was also concluded that the water well of Weld County landowner Renee McClure, also featured in the film, contained naturally occurring biogenic methane not related to oil and gas activity in the area


I thought by now people would no better than to trust an internet site with no profesional affiliation. The enviromentalists are experts aat creating faux science and are better than the Nazis were at spreading propaganda as science.

I haven't seen Gasland, so I'm curious about a piece of information that wasn't included in that paragraph.

Was the question ever posed to either of the landowners mentioned of whether they'd been able to light their well water on fire before the oil and gas activity started in the area?

good question

I watched it a while ago so perhaps circ can tell us when he watches it or finds something else to copy and paste from wikipedia
