We’ll wind up paying for it though.
I guarantee NY and Cal get federal guarantees on their state bonds before 2016.
Well, if that's the only question, it's easy enough to answer. Texas has almost sixty years of experience with fracking...and over twenty years of experience with horizontal drilling and fracking right here in the Barnett Shale.
We have experienced absolutely zero, zilch, nada safety problems.
So, of course, fracking can be done safely, governor. Save all the expense on environmental consultants and bureaucrats; proceed with the drilling.
It isn't a drilling technique. It is a production technique. It is something you do with the wellbore after the well has been drilled.
When the fundamental understanding of what the process is remains so flawed, it is a small wonder that Noo Yawkers (and associated shills from the ecowhacko industry) are against it. Heck, they don't even know what it is.
Thanks for the ping!
I would never insult the Amish by comparing them to liberals. The Amish understand the consequences of rejecting technological progress. You give up opportunities to increase material wealth.
The libs don't get that part and refuse to consider it.
