Reason.tv offers a fair accounting of hydraulic fracturing. “The Truth About Fracking" is a short 5 1/2 minute interview conducted by Reason’s Nick Gillespie with science correspondent Ronald Bailey. In the interview, Bailey tackles the question of whether or not fracking is safe—its potential benefits and potential problems. Well worth five minutes of your time.

this video is a lie, believe nothing it says. It is spin. This is dis-information. Shame on this melt-faced fuck for trying to lie to people.
ReplyDeleteusing green tech is the way forward, not destroying landscapes and water tables for short term gain, and 'bridge' energy. Your arguments FOR Fracking are deeply flawed, it's obvious in your face you don't even believe them yourself, most notably when you ask 'How much more study do we need'. It's etched across your face that you're lying through your false teeth.
ReplyDeletePeople of the world, The retard in this video is trying to bamboozle you with figures, don't believe them, they're rubbish.
You are so right. Check out the news for fracking in Texas and New York States. On June 20 the Texas Governor signed a law forcing drilling companies to disclose the chemicals they use in fracking. This is momentous, since Texas has the largest oil and gas lobby in the world, and they NEVER do anything the oil companies don't like. In March the NY legistature unanimously adopted a resolution prohibiting the leasing of any county-owned land for high-volume and chemical slick water hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing but spin, it's not in the least bit believable.
ReplyDeleteNatural gas, when extracted in this method, fracking, is dirtier than coal due to the amount of methane released into the atmosphere during extraction. It has a bigger carbon footprint than coal -
