Can the frackers not feel the pain of Mother Gaia?

suggests fracking will shove gas into some people's drinking water, so the water will burn.

I check mine regularly for that. If it does, no-one will know. I can separate water and gas.

Of course, it's mostly liberal propoganda, and I'll continue to have to buy gas... but I check once a week, just in case.

Who cares why? Use them to grease the drill stems.

We allow the liberals to control the language. Fracking doesn’t cause explosions..and the so called chemicals are dish washer detergent and sand..plus lots of water. Most liberals have more chemicals under their kitchen sink then they will ever see from a fracked well under their house.

The problem is not the fracking, or the frackin’ frackers, it’s the supply and demand problem.

Supply is high so the price is dropping. If anything, Fracking will constrict supply and raise prices (and profits).

However, I think the russian gas pipelines are doing more to lower prices due to market glut than any frackes

Celebrities are fluff. Putin and the Saudis have more control over Obama than they do.

I don't think this is an example of that (controlling the narrative maybe) but I have ceased debating with liberals about anything. They're not liberals they are Progressives and Progressives are communists and communists should be taking dirt naps.

Whether or not any of these spoiled Hollywood degenerates talking about, and that would be a shock, it isn't so much them as it's the various environmental activists'' groups who are putting them up to it. Oil is the black blood of a free market economy, of a free people,for whom it gives the energy and ability to reap it's many benefits, such as driving in your car going anywhere you want to. And it's the fuel of a war machine that does away with dictators and brings liberty to oppressed people and defends this great nation. It"s only natural for these neo-Marxists, socialists and commies to see that we can never drill for our own oil and make use of it. It's incremental way to destroy our military, our freedom and America.

Chemicals? Since when is water a chemical? That’s what they pump into the ground during a fracking operation. The water contains a small percentage of methanol and sand. Methanol is biodegradable. Groundwater aquifers are seldom any deeper than 500 feet. Fracking operations occur at 3,000 to 6,000 feet or deeper.

Though, I have heard an interesting (and more believable than the others) hypothesis on the connection between fracking and the small earth tremors that are occurring in areas where there is a lot of fracking happening. This came from an oil company engineer no less. He thought that the fracking was forcing the sand and water deposits in between opposing faults, making it easier for the faults to slip against each other, thereby causing the tremors.
