The EPA has found no link between fracking and ground water contamination.

Fracking is good.

I think you'll find you are wrong.
And even if you're not, they knew lead was extremely dangerous but kept on using it for decades because the companies and individuals profiting from it were rich and powerful.
Do you really have that much faith in the EPA?
If they say it's so it must be so?
If so you are naive and in good need of a healthy dose of scepticism.

Not wrong - look it up.

Fracking goes on well below the water tables wherever it's done.

I can't believe you're lying AGAIN Booners. Shame on you!

And why is it illegal to publish what chemicals they are pumping into the groundwater if they are safe?

After years of asserting that hydraulic fracturing has never tainted drinking water, the Obama administration issued a long-awaited study of the controversial oil and gas production technique that confirmed "specific instances" when fracking "led to impacts on drinking water resources, including contamination of drinking water wells."

The conclusion was central to a nearly 1,000-page draft assessment issued Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency to address public concerns about the possible effects of fracking on drinking water.

In the past, top Obama administration officials such as former EPA administrator Lisa Jackson and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz maintained that there was no evidence fracking had fouled drinking water, despite findings to the contrary by EPA's own scientists in several highly publicized cases. The acknowledgment of instances of fracking-related contamination marks a notable reversal for the administration.

Are you completely w/out a brain or what? Fracking chemicals don't get pumped into the drinking water aquifer dumbass. They go in well below there bud...



Start yer own thread (this is the cartoon thread) if you can't come to grips on the reality that once a Nazi government agency like the EPA gives it's blessing to Fracking, it's a done deal.

Sorry BM - one of THE MOST STUPID posts I have seen you make.

Fracturing - they have no control over the size and direction of the fractures - they break into an aquifer, then all the chemicals they pump in goes straight into the water table.

I'm glad you said "one of".

Booners will believe anything big business tells him. After all, they're republicans, on the side of right and good, and they wouldn't lie.

MAybe. The biggest concern in that OPEC will never allow the oil price to go over $100 for many years, and therefore all fracking is non profitable, you need to ask why in the UK they are persisting. Ties in with a law Cameron passed just before the election in an empty house that allowed them to dump anything they like underground in the fracked holes, including nuclear waste. If fracking ever starts, they will destroy the country and turn it into a nuclear waste dump within a decade.

By the way, if you have not watched Voices from the Gas Fields, mostly about the destruction in Australia, then you should do. The politicians with their snouts in the trough will not.....

I think New York just banned fracking as well. Plenty of communities have lost their water supplies so the information on how bad this practice is has surfaced.

Maryland bans fracking | TheHill

A reminder though - as soon as TTIP and TPP pass, Fracking will be all over the covered areas with no way for governments to stop it. What is happening in NY and places like Maryland is meaningless because as soon as TTIP and TTP pass which obomba is pushing, the fracking will start.

I hope this is no the case, pseodolus

Can you provide a source on this. Not challenging you, just curious.

Read The Secret Trade Memo Calling For More Fracking and Offshore Drilling

IN a nutshell, where big business wants to do something, and a government says no, it is decided in a secret non judicial court with three people making the decision being a Industry Lawyer, an Company lawyer, and a corrupt government representative. TTIP and TPP is a corporate take over of the world.

Along with all the chemicals as well we assume.

New science shows fracking contaminates groundwater, yet EPA is still muzzled by industry pressure



A new study has found that shale drilling and fracking contaminated drinking water wells in Pennsylvania. The study represents the first peer-reviewed paper confirming that fracking can and does contaminate drinking water supplies.
The study discovered that the whitish foam seeping from the faucets and hoses in Bradford county homes was the drilling chemical 2-BE a “foaming agent” known to cause tumors in rodents. The fracking industry contaminant was present in drinking water wells closest to Chesapeake Energy shale operations.
Residents of Bradford have been complaining about contaminated water since Chesapeake Energy began drilling in 2009. Bradford is now the “most fracked” county in Pennsylvania, and Chesapeake is the largest lease holder. While Chesapeake has never admitted responsibility for water contamination, the company has paid millions in settlements to Bradford residents since 2011.
Well water in Bradford, PA

But didn’t we already know that fracking can contaminate groundwater supplies?

Yes we did. The New York Times found that the EPA knew about groundwater contamination from fracking as far back as 1987. In fact, links between shale drilling, fracking, and groundwater contamination has been well documented.
But that has not stopped an industry-funded campaign of denial on the issue. The fracking industry has spent big to keep people in the dark on the real impacts from fracking, funding front groups like Energy In Depth to obscure the science on fracking and drilling.
Where is the EPA’s study on fracking’s impact on drinking water?

Even the EPA has been manipulated by the fracking industry’s campaign to hide this dangerous truth. The EPA, at the behest of Congress, was tasked with studying the impacts to water supplies from fracking in 2010. This study was supposed to tell the American people what can happen to water supplies when the the shale industry sets up shop. Five years and hundreds of thousands of fracked wells later, the EPA has still not given us an answer.
The EPA’s study was originally due to be released in 2012, but has been repeatedly delayed. As Inside Climate News reported, the delay may have been caused by interference from oil and gas corporations. Shale drilling and fracking companies, including Chesapeake Energy, refused to cooperate with EPA, effectively torpedoing key elements of the study. This delay has kept the American populace in the dark on the real impacts of fracking.
The confusion about who is to blame for contaminated water in Bradford County is an example of the havoc wrought by the fracking industry’s campaign of delay against the EPA’s water study. In fact, Bradford is one of the places being studied by the EPA in order to ascertain how fracking impacts groundwater. The EPA took 37 samples in Bradford in 2012, yet has not released any findings.
Documents obtained by Greenpeace show that Chesapeake Energy fought the EPA’s research in Bradford. After Chesapeake found out the EPA intended to research water contamination issues in Bradford, Chesapeake commissioned their own study intended to directly address the EPA study and rebut any potential finding of contamination. The Chesapeake study, which they claimed was “independent,” found that there had been no groundwater contamination in the area. Chesapeake stuck with their claim that Bradford water was safe to drink, in spite of reports of sick livestock and illness in children exposed to Bradford groundwater.
Chesapeake demanded that the EPA include their industry-funded research in Bradford in the overall water study, even though the Chesapeake study collected less than half of the samples collected by the EPA. As Inside Climate News reported, Chesapeake also reneged on their promises to provide access to well sites for sampling by the EPA.
This new study is further proof that fracking has real impacts to the environment and public health, impacts that the industry has successfully denied for years.

That's rubbish. OPEC are hurting big time and would prefer it to be up to at least $90.

But with the US and Russia pumping like crazy they don't have much control any more.

MOre absolute bullshit from Harrykeyboardcreamer.

OPEC have not decreased production. They are keeping price low despite demand is low as well.

The OPEC countries have the lowest production costs - the US is having a record amount of producers going chapter 11, especially in unconventional. OPEC is doing this to kill off the competition. The US is allowing it to try to cripple Russia and Venezuela. The US are as dipshit thick as you because along with their attack on the Russian currency, the Russians who are selling in rubles are now creaming it in whilst the stupid merkins are suffering.

I.T Boy - stick to the Kardashians. Thats your level, Caitlyn.

Where do you read this shit?

Look at the breakeven oil price for Saudia Arabia and the UAE - around $80 and $90 respectively. Only Kuwait can just about break even at the current price. That's three of OPEC's biggest. For other GCC countries like Oman and Bahrain $100 might not cut it.

Venezuela need something like $117 a barrel to break even.

With the current glut, if they cut production, they not only cut revenue but risk losing market share; it's as simple as that, but obviously too clever for you to understand.

The only thing you got right is that the one really fucking up the price is the US, as they are now the world's number one producer and are forcing Russia to keep up.

You really shouldn't try and talk about something you clearly don't have a clue about, you gormless fucker.
