It’s weakening the structure of the ground.

Understand that the fracking is taking place 8-12,000 ft underground --there is still 1 1/2 to 2 miles of solid rock above the site.

Moreover, fracking does not create large underground caverns. Generally speaking, it's designed to fracture the rock in the immediate neighborhood and hydraulically inject grains of sand into the fissures so that the cracks remain open. It's all very local -- immediately adjacent to the drillstem. There is no large void.

After over sixty years of use with no ill effects noted, there is simply no logical reason to ban fracking.

There is, however, a political reason -- as Bernie cites; the climate change hoax.

That and that OK has become a roller coaster.

Actually I received an answer from 2ndDivisionVet.

Some others are still claiming he is receiving compensation, but I have since backed off because I was assured by him he is not.

If he is, then he will have to answer to FReepers later. I am satisfied with his answer, and have backed off.

Hi thanks for your note.

I was overseas for several months, used cba123 as my logon, while I was there.

I am back in America now. I however will head back over there, just touching base with my family at the moment.

Thank you very much.
