Fracing has been around for a very long time, it is not something that just popped up to save us all.
That combined with directional drilling has been a savior of our oil industry

Fracking has been around since the 1920’s. 2 million fracks so far.

Having designed high pressure equipment for fracking systems, I think I might have a basic understanding of what’s involved.

If folks would listen to someone like Bill Wattenberg they would understand tracking very well

Every time I hear the word “fracking,” I think of the newer Battlestar Galactica.

They guys I know that are in the industry would say this author doesn’t know much either because it’s “fracing” (or “frac’ing”) not “fracking”.

Another study by Duke University found the opposite, that the drinking water near areas of fracking had higher levels of methane and ethane, two lethal pollutants. This suggested that the drilling has definitely affected the drinking water of residents in the area.

As you know, there is a perfectly logical answer to this misleading finding.

Much of Pennsylvania is underlaid by coalbeds. There is such a thing as "coalbed methane" -- methane given of by and associated with coalbeds. These coalbeds -- and the associated methane -- are shallow and often within the water table. Ergo, methane and ethane were often found in Pennsylvania well water before fracking began.

Fracking is conducted in formations at depths well below the water table and where coalbed methane is found. Shale gas and coalbed methane are totally separate and unrelated deposits.

A long time ago, my family had a drilled well, it suddenly started putting out less and less water, so my dad, this was back in the sixties, went to the hardware store and got a stick or two of dynamite.

He took the well cap off, attached a weight from an old window to the stick of dynamite with a three foot cord, lite it, dropped it into the well, and a few minutes after the explosion, around 150 feet or so down, we had more water than we knew what to do with.

My dad was fracking well before the word fracking was ever used. And he was not alone.

Today, thanks to the BATF, the EPA, the FBi, and a bunch of other federal know it alls, frackin a well is no longer an option cause you can’t buy dynamite.

I was talking to a preacher yesterday, we were talking about federal intrusions into our lives, he said; “______ there is a special place in hell for bureaucrats.”

I agree with him, God has to have a special place of torment reserved for the pond scum who have ruined our country and our lives, under the color of law.

Add jobs, improve the economy, and become an energy self-sufficient nation?

Or continue to be beholden to those who want us dead?

Hmmm.....

The process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is the most effective and efficient way of releasing shale gas from the large number of deposits all over the United States. The >B>process involves blasting a slurry of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure through a pipe drilled deep in the ground, often a mile or greater within a layer of shale.

Can someone explain the validity of laws on 'low flush' toilets again...

For those who want to see a 6 minute video showing how horizontal drilling and fracking is done, Northern Gas and Oil has done a great one.

It includes a visual piece on how fresh water aquifers are protected from contamination.

Knowledge is power, keep the link and pass it on.
