“Do they have any clue at all?”
Answer: NO! But the light may go on when we’re back to $4.00 per gallon gasoline and home heating oil! John Wayne was right, “life’s tough, and it’s tougher when you’re stupid!” 90% of Americans are stupid sheep!
Who paid for this Gallup poll, the Saudis?
The whole nation has been schooled in Rio Linda.
Ninety five percent of “americans” have no idea what fracking is. It’s rather moronic to ask them if they oppose it. Before these commie pollsters ask these morons questions like this, they should ask them if they know what fracking is and have them explain it to them. “Americans” aren’t really the brightest people on the planet these days.
I was a drill-baby-drill person before, and I still am, but the boots on the ground have left a very bad taste in people's mouths around here. In Fort Worth, the courts turned 150 years of property rights law on it's head, effectively giving the oil and gas company your rights if you refuse to sign their toilet-paper Producer 88 leases slanted in their favor (even though it's impacting your home). I know folks in west Texas that are really getting screwed; their lease grants them royalties after expenses. The O&G company was drilling on their property for several years and they never saw a dime. Apparently, any expense for the producer, including trips to Hawaii, are deducted against their royalties.
Not everyone in the industry is a bad actor (I know some who are good), but recognize that the bad actors are doing serious damage to the industry because they are not only screwing people out of money, they are also messing up their land (spoiling the water, tapping the well tables dry, etc.).
Don't presume that everyone who is against something speaks from a place of ignorance. There are plenty who have lots of experience...all of which, unfortunately, is bad.
Before fracking, people in Europe literally froze to death because they could not affort the sky high prices that the Russians charged for gas and oil.
The constant propaganda and it’s effects prove the power of the press. Especially when it harms a society as a whole.
I don’t pretend to understand fracking but there are indications of some seismic activity in areas of intense fracking
Is it innocuous ?
Any dangers of aquifer contamination or do they drill too deep?
Does a driller directional drill and frack at same time?
It’s ironic considering I had extensive pipeline experience in my yute and board road building in Texas and Louisiana but never fooled around in actual drilling or production
Any experts here please fill me in
