It is, but a little bag balm helps sooth the chafe.

This deposit of natgas is enough to keep us independent from outside sources for years and years, but again the not in my yard mentality is causing problems.

Then you are a good man... Thanks for bringing this very important matter up.
It's critical that fracking is banned...

There are alternatives to hydraulic fracturing such as this.

This is just one that is being developed.

yup.... it's important that this doesn't happen.
Rumor has it, they used a bit of not so true material to get their point across. Read good blurb about it in Business Week a few weeks ago.
Damn dmc...maybe it's time for some decaf dude. Between this thread and the "snowboarders in moguls"...I think we could plug you in and have you generate 25% of the power for upstate NY.

thats what happens when I'm in a hotel room in Ohio waiting for a big meeting..
I am passionate about fracking.. And I like to call people out with their "anti" snowboarding stuff...
It's a good morning..

Glenn, are you saying that someone trying to convey a point that they feel strongly about using some form of media might actually NOT present an objective view of BOTH sides of the story??? No way!!!! :lol:

Well fracking is an issue for us in NYS...
I'm just trying to draw people into the conversation without the usual blowhards trying to shove Google science down our throats..

Do you think the frac-ing itself is the problem or the chemicals used to cause the frac-ing? Let's here your scientific view without post links to some document that does not give all of the facts.

yes... Id think those are all problems..
I'm a just computer scientist - but I still can see what it's doing to the environment..
SAY NO TO FRACKING!!!!!

The 1st thing that one should do when reading a scientific paper, ISN'T look at the results, but look at both the materials and methods of how the study was done and then who was behind the funding of the project. Based on those 2 things, one can very often determine as they're reading the results, if your looking at "good" information and if there's the potential for bias.
Far too often, people can get drawn into an artcle/topic/etc based on the emotional value in the title, and then loose the ability to think logically for themselves if what they're reading is an accurate portrayal of the entire topic. Since unfortunately these days, much of science has become driven not by the true pursuit of new knowledge, but by the quest to secure new, and bigger grants from groups looking for a quick financial gain from their R&D dollars. And as any "good" researcher will tel you, not all hypotheses prove to be true

Post your views then. Why is frac-ing bad? I will help. The chemical cocktail used to create the fracture now is bad. Diesel and other additives make up 1% of the mixture, but diesel contains benzene. = bad in ground water. So we agree with that point. What issue do you have with the frac-ing of the rock formation itself? Give me the down side with posting your links.
