Chris–

I have NO idea what basis you make the claim that the Obama admin is the greenest in history– that’s just a silly statement. Greener that the Jackson administration? Nixon? Please…

Nexty—- Just use your common sense Chris—- 600 chemicals injectyed at high pressure below the water table—- you honestly can’t think of dangerous outcomes from that using just your common sense and experience?

Again Chris, these Frackin companies have enough money to hide the dangers, always have and always will! You throw enough money at any administration and the regulators turn a blind eye. Just look at the Koch Bros, they had enough money to put in a Wisconsin governor with no College degree and the first thing he did was retract all the regulations and fines they had been under for the pollution their industry was causing!! I guess you won’t be satisfied until babies are being born with three heads around the fracking areas……

The Obama administration, the greenest administration in history, says fracking is safe, that it’s just another heavy industry that needs regulation but is not the equivalent of underground strip-mining.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/us/interior-proposes-new-rules-for-fracking-on-us-land.html

Obama’s Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell in the NYT:

Anticipating criticism from environmental advocates, she said: “I know there are those who say fracking is dangerous and should be curtailed, full stop. That ignores the reality that it has been done for decades and has the potential for developing significant domestic resources and strengthening our economy and will be done for decades to come.”

…

This is one of those classic Internet non-debates where it is actually a hindrance to have read up on the topic. Being informed doesn’t help.

C’mon, y’all, come back with more of the 600 chemicals crapola and anecdotes and keep ignoring the view of the Obama administration and regulators under every prez since Carter.

1 million wells? They don’t count. They just don’t.

Fracking— Hmmmm—–600 plus chemicals being injected at high pressure below the water table?

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

In reply to Chris Reed.

Chris says,
It is not a new approach or “relatively new science.” It is 70 years old and has been used on 1 million wells.
—————————————
Oh Chris,It still remains a dangerous operation and there have been well blowouts, for example, for as long as there has been drilling. Flaring, venting, pollution from processing plants, etc. will go on regardless of any improved regulation!!

Frackin BS!! Its all about the money to made for big oil and they could careless about the harm it can possibly do. Just like the big pharma companies pumping as many meds into you as possible, its about the money. just like the big food companies pumping chemicals into the food we eat, its cheaper and more profitable! Up to 600 chemicals are used in fracking fluid, including known carcinogens and toxins such as lead,uranium,mercury,ethylene glycol,radium,methanol,hydrochloric acid,formaldehyde!! So During the fracking process, methane gas and these types of toxic chemicals leach out from the system and contaminate nearby groundwater!! But hey, its a money maker so who cares and these companies have enough money to hide the dangers.

A worker was boiled alive and the only punishment the fracking company got was a $300 fine. That is reason enough for me to hate them.
