Fact 2. Oil formations a usually a porous rock zone confined between two none porous layers, usually tilted so oil and gas flows to the upper part of the formation. Shale is uniform, dense, and non porous.

The ability determine what id progressing in an oil formation or a shale formation during fracking is inherently limited, and the energy co.’s would cry proprietary information before they would share that information with reulators.

LOL

If only we should be so lucky. “Industry” left long ago. One thing this state could actually use is a few more smokestacks and the well-paying jobs that go with them.

Don’t worry, Burt. You and the Green lobby will see to it that we never produce another car, mold another tire, or assemble another plane. Forget about cutting down another tree or damming another river.

We’ll just shuffle along with “sustainable” jobs in the service sector, servicing the 1% in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Un/under-employment at 20%, and an increasingly surly and growing underclass.

You win, Burt.

Remember there is one thing film writers, film directors, film producers, film actors, and film reviewers have in common: None of them has taken a science class in their lives.

Resumes from college are chock full of B.A.s in the liberal arts, theater, film production. Some may even have learned to write fairly well through their English majors. But anything that contains even a whiff of the Scientific Method? Math is hard.
