Gee, why would Russia want fracking to end? [chuckle]

[bigbob]

typical hype, FUD, and pseudo-science BS:

This article cleared for publication by the fine folks at GAZPROM.

Russia has been pushing everyone to not go with fracking. They’ve been muscling Europe to forgo it. Of course in the excellent documentary Fracknation, it’s shown how some European retirees will spend a good chunk of their monthly stipend on gas. Russia loves that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’ll probably make your babies be born with no clothes on too.

I wonder why Democrats want to stop it. And they will, if they ever get the chance.

[Gamecock]

Global warming has pretty much been debunked. Time for the next crisis.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Because solar and wind will lead us to the promise land, of course.

[Mike Darancette]

The Russkies are worried that their natural gas reserves won’t be worth spit.

[digger48]

We’re fighting windmills in my county.

Unbelievable how they tear communities apart.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

And it causes global warming.

Just from the phraseology of the comments, the speaker has little understanding of the topic on a scientific/engineering level. Fracking doesn't create porosity, it connects it with the wellbore and enhances the ability to produce trapped fluids in formerly unconnected pores, for instance.

The lack of fundamental understanding of the process, and the inability to explain it in simple, yet industry standard terminology indicates this person has a very limited knowledge of the topic.

It isn't the geology which is unconventional, it is the reservoirs involved. (etc.).

Just another paid BS artist trying to sway the public with a preponderance of "information".

Oh my God! I just had a baby and she was born without clothes! Who can I sue?

Fixed.

I've no experience with wind power, other than seeing the wind farms spread across the landscape in Teexas, Oklahoma and Kansas. <

My sister, however, a confirmed liberal, has argued in favor of wind (and solar) power, so that we can do away with that nasty coal, petroleum and nuclear power. She is, of course, totally unfamiliar with the economics and feasibility of her chosen direction.

Well, now, a windfarm has been proposed for her county. Within her view. And her hearing, no less. Suudenly, her favorite energy sources have become ugly, noisy and intrusive. She has joined a group of citizens (all liberals, apparently) who are campaigning vehemently against licensing the windfarm.

Greeny. But NIMBY.

The left wants the US and our troops in the Middle East forever.
