This ‘Dutchsinse’ idiot could have flown in and rushed down to the Data Center in Dugway, and Fort Williams, and the copper mine, but to find ‘fracking’ in the center of Magna is laughable...it's flat ground...all of the ‘valley’ of the Salt Lake City area is flat...it used to be ‘Bonneville Lake’ back when the Mormons arrived into the valley...as time went on we got the Great Salt Lake, where Morton Salt mines salt; and there was a great pleasure of going swimming there as you could ‘float’ since the salt held you up...
Utah Lake was part of the big lake, at one time Saratoga Fun park was there, like Lagoon and Saltair (since burned down years ago)...Saratoga is now a camping site as I understand...
The only ‘fracking’ that would be done in Utah would be the Wasatch Mountains, and maybe down south in the State but I really doubt it...our coal industry comes from Carbon, Emery and that area of the state...
The steel plant used to be around Vineyard, Orem area...since shut down and torn down, they don't make steel there anymore...when the men were fighting in WW2, my sister, aunt, cousin were working there, they were called “Molly Riveters”...when the men came back home, those that didn't mine coal, turned farmers, worked at the Steel Plant...
Amazing how people from other parts of the Country ‘assume’ what goes on when they have never lived or researched the area they are talking about...by the way ‘assume’ means: Making an ass out of you and me...just as this Dutchsinse..
The earthquake did do some hard to the copper mine, it spilled some chemicals they use to help with the blasting when they start a new area...the whole of the Okra Mountains is full of copper...it is one of the ‘wonders of the world’ but I guess Dutchsinse would know this???
As far as the Data Center, if there was a problem no one would ever know about it that lives here and you couldn't get anywhere around it if you wanted to, unless you wanted to die...Area 52 is very heavily protected...
Having been born and raised in this State, and having been from the North to the South and the East to the West I do know some of what I am talking about...
By the way, those of you that don’t know Dutchsinse, he is is one person, Michael Janitch (from St. Louis Missouri) , an independent scientist who in my opinion is a kook...

The Wasatch range. Rugged, scenic, inspiring. Especially in the late spring when the storms blow in from the northwest and dump hundreds if inches of snow on the east face.
I spent a month in SLC one week. I helped delineate the Anschutz Ranch gas play (Nugget sandstone). No fracking needed. Literally hundreds of vertical feet of producible formation.
Interesting fact, it is a folded sandstone formation and the gas flows (best) from NNW to SSE in the North and West to East in the South.
