Lots of implied reason for hysteria, with little fact

I currently work projects at one of the largest salt cavern storage facilities in the US for Nat Gas and Nat Gas Liquids. So I am likely a little biased in the other direction.

The Basics of Underground Natural Gas Storage
http://www.eia.gov/pub/oil_gas/natural_gas/analysis_publications/storagebasics/storagebasics.html

Salt caverns provide very high withdrawal and injection rates relative to their working gas capacity. Base gas requirements are relatively low. The large majority of salt cavern storage facilities have been developed in salt dome formations located in the Gulf Coast states. Salt caverns have also been leached from bedded salt formations in Northeastern, Midwestern, and Southwestern states. Cavern construction is more costly than depleted field conversions when measured on the basis of dollars per thousand cubic feet of working gas capacity, but the ability to perform several withdrawal and injection cycles each year reduces the per-unit cost of each thousand cubic feet of gas injected and withdrawn.

“People need to see what’s happening at Seneca Lake, and also understand that this isn’t isolated, it is happening everywhere,” Fox told The Daily Beast before the protest. “We need to educate people that our dependency on fossil fuels has got to change, and it has to change now.”

But we can burn wood either. What energy shall we use to support the production of goods and services that will provide the funding we need to support solar and wind energy to use for the production of goods and services? See, solar and wind won't sustain themselves financially. We are no longer allowed to use nuclear or hydroelectric energy either.

Simply put, we need fossil fuel energy so that we can earn revenue and pay taxes to pay for Solar and Wind energy.

This circular logic can cause symptoms of stupidity. You've been warned.

I’d be glad to cut off natural gas supplies to New York State, if that’s what would make the residents there happy.

But you know what happens when that supertoxic methane gets into the water, right?

It bubbles right through it like a ghost, then leaves H2O behind, and creepily disappears into the atmosphere.

Very tricky stuff.

This Josh Fox is clearly a genius.

"Lots of implied reason for hysteria, with little fact..."

Yeah, I was right across the street when the Sheriffs hauled these dingalings off for trespassing. These nitwits along with the Socialist / Marxist governor have been preventing New York State from reaping the financial benefits that Pennsylvania has from fracking for years now. One note of humor for me was that the dipsticks being arrested weren't even handcuffed but held their hands behind their backs for the camera to give the impression that they were. The actual FACTS are that this facility will produce virtually ZERO risks and provide enormous financial benefit to the entire region. Leave it to Water Mellon Socialists to screw up a wet dream!

I think Fox has a right to protest but not to block public roads to thru traffic or go on private property.

Gasland... Isn’t that the liar who faked the flaming hoses?

And from my brief studies natural gas has been NATURALLY seeping in to water tables long before fracking.

BUT of course. We have to surrender our dollars, our futures, and freedom to government officials immediately. It’s all for the children

If this scale is correct there's no reason to be worried

But liberals aren't rational people anyways.
My sister in law who lives in the area is a good example.
