Begone!
You want perfectly safe?
Stop using energy, move into your closet and assume the fetal position...
Publius you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. I just posted a video. Quit being a martyr for the almighty Crusade against “lefty”.
Since prehistory. Evidence has been published in the literature since before I was born.
Incidentally, for the Chicken Littles, evidence of nuclear reactions in high concentration ores have also been documented in prehistory!
The ignorant Watermelons need to rent a clue.
I certainly hope so!
Rolling back the "Big Government" of the last 50 years should take care of that. That juggernaut is already rolling.
Whatever happened to "...all powers not expressly given to the Federal Government are reserved to the States, or to the People...?
The identification of danger to the environment, the world and the universe should be a matter of neutral non-governmental science, not the opinion of an idiot non-elected bureaucrat with an agenda (or a leftie unknown group visiting the White House.)
I've spent most of my adult life educating myself, mostly in science, not relying on cartoons, Al Gore and Michael Moore C movies.
Clearly, I don't know what your level of useful knowledge is, but your instant appeal to personal attack gives me a great clue.
Why haven't you left yet?
I am totally against fracking!
No fracking way!
We're on the same page, sorta. I remarked above on the complaint of stink in a house due to "natural gas" - but natural gas is just methane - and methane isn't stinky; they have to put an odorant in it you will be able to tell if there's a leak. So we are left with the conundrum that the guy who is able to light his tap water afire is smelling something associated with methane. It doesn't jibe that the source would be a deep deposit of methane. As you say, coal mining sounds like a possible culprit. And the conclusion that it was due to fracking somewhere looks to be a "post hoc, ergo prompter hoc" error.
That is one of the environmentalists' fabricated lie videos.
No drilling anywhere close. It is natural methane in the water.
This has been debunked a thousand times. I am surprised to find someone believing it here on FR.
You just need education.
The greens’ agenda has little to do with the environment and a lot to do with destroying capitalism.
Saw a bumber sticker yesterday; ‘Hydro fracking is IMMORAL!’.
Immoral?!
These are Loons with a capital “L”.
“Frackking” is nothing new in the energy business having been employed for over a quarter-century I can attest to !
So we’re left to ponder the “why” of this recent spate of protests over an established procedure ? Could it just be because it enables recovery in a massive discovery close to “demand”, thereby forestalling the “green weenies” contentions of “peak oil/energy “ ! >PS
Hmmmm. Wasn’t that pretty much the scenario taking place regarding combined/cycle MHD power generation using coal as a base fuel back in the Sixties ? >PS
Don't they ever get tired of reality getting in the way?
You are right; deep deposits of methane are odorless. Shallow deposits, like the kind that I can smell from the landfill, are stinky due to the rotting organic material.
uhh...no... I know quite a bit about fracking. It isn’t safe.
