Just another step to make us totally dependent on muslim countries for our energy...

Fracking is a great tool that oil firms use to revive domestic oil fields. Shutting this process down would have a backdoor effect of shutting down domestic oil production.

I hate these people.

Here's an unappreciated but more and more common phrase nowadays:

The bill also would require companies..."

How much more will America take?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

Bejeesus, hydraulic fracturing has been around since the 1930’s at least. Some frac jobs use sand to prop open the fissures so the oil and gas can leave the formation and migrate to the well bore. Properly set surface casing, which is cemented well below groundwater depths, insures against contamination. These people are lunatics.

When do they start coming door to door to put bullets through our heads? Is there anything ELSE they'd like to regulate? How about farting? picking one’s nose? Burping? AGHHHH!

"Democratic Reps. Diana DeGette of Colorado and...plan to reintroduce a bill that would repeal a ban on regulating the process,..."

But she's fine with having a shallow water well with cesspools right next it in her own State ('cause a big, fat, leftist schoolteacher lives there and wants to keep it that way).

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Democratic Reps. Diana DeGette of Colorado and Maurice Hinchey of New York plan to reintroduce...

FO&D, Commies!

[2harddrive]

They WANT us subservient to the Muslim oil & gas producers!

[MrB]

At first, I thought this was a Battlestar Galactica thread...
I guess it fracking isn’t.

Thanks neverdem.

The push to put a widely used oil and gas drilling process under federal oversight could gain ground with a new administration in place and concerns about the development of huge gas fields in the East. Democratic Reps. Diana DeGette of Colorado and Maurice Hinchey of New York plan to reintroduce a bill that would repeal a ban on regulating the process, called hydraulic fracturing, under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The exemption was part of the 2005 energy bill and followed an Environmental Protection Agency report that found there was little or no threat to underground drinking water from the process.

"I said the US would achieve energy independence, and I meant it. Once we've submitted to shariah law and are under foreign Muslim rule, we'll never lack for gas and oil again. Y'know, those who are allowed to have cars."
