Fox Guest: 'Fracking is incredibly good for the environment'

[Sonikku]

Fracking is perfectly safe, there is no doubt. Never the less, I think it should be limited to poor communities, for reasons.

Despite all evidence to the contrary... :whiste:

What evidence? gasland does not count. I want real reports from the epa and such. The closest thing I have read is the work around pavillion wyoming. where the water has been contaminated for many years and the gas zones are very shallow. Also, we have been drilling in the area for nearly 100 years. I have worked some wells in the area originally drilled in the teens and 20s.

The EPA has yet to link the process of fracking to ground water contaimanation. The only real issues are when people dispose of water wrong, not fracking's fault or the casing in the well is damaged, also not a fault of the process of fracking.

I run services that can detect and repair casing.
the run off and waste water issues are being addressed in a lot of places by treating and reusing the waste water. places like the pinedale anticline field in wyoming reuse 90% of their waste water.

This is a good post, however, I must point out that not all drillers are responsible. And when they are finally cornered and sued about their lax oversight and questionable practices, they will often just dissolve the company, declare bankruptcy and reform under new ownership to weasel out of lawsuits over water or ground contamination.

Science isn't your strong point, I see.

Also, even if you interpret "may be" as you wrongly do, it still rejects your comment. Quite directly.

Reading comprehension isn't yours I see.
