1. More natural gas won't mean energy independence. The IEA admits that despite being a top oil producer, the U.S. will still be dependent on exports from the Middle East to meet domestic demands, especially for emergency use during crises like oil spills. 2. Natural gas production estimates...

Where are those facts?

Fracking takes advantage of loopholes in federal laws designed to protect drinking water, so the chemicals used in drilling are not required by federal law to be publicly disclosed. Disclosure requirements for fracking chemicals differ widely from state to state, but the majority of states...

Since Garfield County, Colorado has experienced fracking development, residents who live within a half mile of the natural gas wells have been exposed to air pollutants, like the carcinogen benzene and toxic hydrocarbons known to cause respiratory and neurological problems, according to a...

This is all quite factual, but you keep stating it is not. I guess you know better than the EPA and these Reps. Last fall, the EPA released a report showing that fracking had contaminated groundwater in Wyoming, sparking a deluge of speculation about water pollution as a consequence of...

You have not presented ONE single fact in disproving the harmful affects of fracking. Im waiting. The facts stated above are an investigation by the EPA and said Reps.

The report was prepared under the leadership of US House Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA), Edward Markey (D-MA), and Dianna DeGuette (D-CO).

Among the list of carcinogens used are formaldehyde (also a hazardous air pollutant), diesel, naphthalene and chemicals in the BTEX compound group (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene). ”The BTEX compounds appeared in 60 hydraulic fracturing products used in the 5-year period...

“In addition, the hydraulic fracturing companies injected more than 30 million gallons of diesel fuel or fracturing fluids containing diesel fuel in wells in 19 states.” In a 2004 report, the EPA stated that the use of diesel fuel in fracturing fluids poses the greatest threat to...

I'm waiting for your facts disproving the harmful effects of fracking.

“Many chemical components of hydraulic fracturing fluids used by the companies were listed on the MSDSs as “proprietary” or “trade secret.” The hydraulic fracturing companies used 93.6 million gallons of 279 products containing at least one proprietary component...

Are you stating that you have NO problem drinking tap water polluted by fracking, and that these chemicals pose NO problems passing through the ground? YES or NO?

No. I love a good debate. I cant stand conservative pig headed ways of thinking. You think cause you have read a thread you, know how fracking works or how the emissions are "regulated"? You have still yet to give me ONE fact supporting your vision of how fracking effects everyone other than...

Are tons of chemicals NOT pumped into the ground? You're implying the EPA's standards are protecting us? I'm confused about what is is you think.

Wrong about what? what have i said here that is untrue? All you say is that my facts are not so. Lets hear it. YOU sir have not presented one fact in your case other than saying I'm wrong.

I won't be a troll anymore. I have stated my case. If you are sure that its blown out of proportion and just a media scare, then go to Pennslyvania and drink a nice glass of tap water. Peace a nd chicken grease. No hard feelings, Doer.

really? that looks pretty factual to me. Listen guy. Read above. I have worked for and been involved in fracking working for an oil company. You sound JUST like people i used to work with. Go ahead and trust the oil companies to look after your drinking water. They chemicals pumped into the...

Don't worry guys and gals. People are just blowing this out of proportion and exaggerating. FYI when the water comes back out of the ground, these companies DO NOT always truck away the waste water 100% of the time. They will just dump it wherever the fuck they please. Fact.

http://frackingarkansas.wordpress.com/horror-stories/ How much water is used during the fracking process? Generally 1-8 million gallons of water may be used to frack a well. A well may be fracked up to 18 times. What fluids are used in the fracking process? For each frack, 80-300 tons of...

"Baseless"? "Gain"? So lighting your sinkwater on fire, or having your land ruined is "baseless"? How about cancer? Is that good enough reason for concern? Go visit Pennsylvania. Whatever you say, guy.
