Which is why I said, "on the face of it". It is true that use of salty water eventually can lead to problems in an agriculural area. What I don't know for a fact is what the salinity of the specific water we are talking about here is. I don't know jack about ranching, but I'm pretty good with water chemistry, and I'm not ignorant about soil chemistry. And I know that there are practical examples of areas where water has been used in such a fashion that salts from said water have accumulated in surface layers of soil and have rendered that soil infertile.

I asked for answers about the specific issues the environmental groups have raised. I didn't pretend to have them myself. If the technical facts don't support their position, then fine. The issues as presented in this story are real in some areas of the world. The question is, are they real in the Powder River Basin? These issues shouldn't be dismissed out of hand simply because of the people who raised them.

Read my other posts about the water and you'll see that the technical facts don't support their position.

Why would you even begin to listen to an argument that is based on lies and distortion?

We have been fighting these enviro-nazis for a long time, padnuh!
I'm to the point that if they say it, it's bullsh*t!

I'm in the business, and I can't see how these little wells are going to have that much impact on our gas needs. That, however, is irrelevant.
Whatever we can get, wherever we can find it, and however we can produce it, we must have more natural gas production.
