Goodbye natural gas. Are they seriously trying to destroy this country?
Well I fracking hope they fracking get some fracking guidelines...
It appears that way.
Since not one of the piople on the panel know a damn thing about oil and gas let alone the fracing process, this should be amusing.
God Bless Our Troops
Professors that have never been on a well. Jeez..
We don’t need no fracking guidelines.
We are about to be fracked... again.
--CIA director whose home computer also was connected to his "business" computer , giving access to the world--
And, they have a plan.......
. By some estimates, the energy locked up in methane hydrate deposits is more than twice the global reserves of all conventional gas, oil, and coal deposits combined.
But by all means let’s pump fresh water to get 14 yrs worth of methane . At least in Marcellus shale.
That’s smart...
No, let’s rely on unproven technology for a previously unexctracted resource with unkown technologies of capture, transport and use. A resource which the environmentalists would shut down faster than they will shut down fracking.
Or, maybe we should stop using oil, coal, and conventionally produced methane altogether and just wait for fusion technology to develop.
dollars to donuts says it’s about setting up outrageously high fracking taxes
“The panel of academics and analysts will make recommendations...”
Aren’t these the same guys that improved the Thoroughbred horse and got the camel?
Fracking has made natural gas plentiful and cheap, now the do-gooders want to find ways to ban it or mess it up to make gas scarce and expensive. That way, windmill farms and solar panels will seem cheap. Idiots.
We don’t need more fracking guidelines we need more fracking jobs.
Chinese could care less about your environmentalists
“There are dozens and dozens of Senior Executive Service jobs available paying well into six figures. Jobs such as Chief Economist, Chief Information Officer, Director Financial Management, NASA Technical Fellow, and Director Storm Prediction Center are a few of the many challenging positions now open. This site also provides additional background on the SES or Senior Executive Service concept. According to a new memo from the OPM Director, more than 50% of SES jobs could become vacant in the next five years.”

Yes, so far the 0bama administration has attacked 95% of our energy production.
On the positive side they want you to check the tire pressure on your Volt.
Part of my career involved working with well drillers. In difficult “tight rock” there was little if any water. Drilling deeper meant hydrocarbons or water to objectionable to drink with the only similarity being “it’s wet”. Many times in areas that could not be serviced a municipal water (distance and hard rock) they were able to develop fractures using sand and glass beads and high pressure - up to 5000 psi. When the rock popped the pressure dropped and often there was water to be developed. Oil drillers use a similar technique but cement off all water as it is their enemy in a sense.
