Personally, I think Natural Gas is much worse than traditional fossil fuels. It may be cleaner to burn, but it is extremely harmful to the environment during extraction. It would be better to keep using Oil and Coal as we switch to Renewable Energy. Now...Who wants to be the first to disagree with me?

i live in a former gas boom town that went bust about 15 years in. i bet we're a prime target for fracking. i'm not big on it, because breaking up all the bedrock and messing up the groundwater isn't good. some people have methane coming through their tap to the point where you can set the water on fire. seems like a poor solution.
i'd rather see nuclear and renewables than fracking.
Methane in the tap has nothing to do with fracking.:mrgreen:
That video is a well known fraud.:mrgreen:
and the peer reviewed studies?
Blah blah blah. All of which are mere delivery systems for innuendo. Suitable only as sermons to the already-converted. There's not a dime's worth of causation in the whole lot.:lamo:lamo
you read fast.
anyway, have a good one. dismissing every peer reviewed study outright without reading any of them after claiming that there have been no peer reviewed studies is not the foundation of a fruitful debate.
It doesn't always turn out that way, though ...

Personally, I wish the idiots that aren't doing this correctly would stop their cheap-skate practices. It makes the whole industry look bad when it really isn't. I do agree we need to make sure the spoils are well treated, some of that fracking fluid is nasty stuff, but again that's the cheap-skates messing it up for the rest of the industry.
Are YOUR search skills inadequate? All I needed was "epa wyoming water 2010" to get this:From 2010, and reached no conclusion as to source.

But like I said, it's most likely someone being a cheap ass instead of doing it right. There's nothing inherently safe about any kind of mining. It's all a matter of how conscientious the company is at following good industry practices.

To be clear, you are saying that the methane is coming through the taps today and no fracking has been conducted in your area to date?
Fracking isn't subject to Clean Water Act. That alone makes me distrust it.
If it doesn't hurt the water - put it under the act.
I think it will have long-term consequences if it isn't regulated more. What in the stuff they are using to frack? And what about the earthquakes? looks like there is some connection to the reinjection of waste stuff and earthquakes.

So not really excited about it here in California.
May be places where it's ok to do it; but put it under the Clean Water Act, put regulations around what can be used in the fracking liquid and around where the wastewater goes.
Or we can just let oil companies ruin another piece of our environment and try to clean it up later.
no. no fracking has been done here, and no flammable water is coming from my tap.
i don't really have a problem with natural gas, but i don't think it's the panacea that T Boone wants it to be. it makes good heat, and we should use it to keep heating a cheap as possible. for electricity and transportation, though, we should use something else.
