Point by point, this steaming pile of :poop: goes from one lie to the next: This is about as disingenuous as disinformation can get. The first error brings the honesty of the author into question. Saying Lisa Jackson stated she was not aware of incidents wherein fracking caused contamination to validate the position that it has not caused contamination has been shown to be a false assertion long enough that it can only have been used to deliberately mislead. The fact is that recorded incidents of contamination go back to 1987: nytimes/interactive/us/drilling-down-documents-7.html?_r=1& Next, what Anadarko shows is only what a dishonest author wants us to believe, and hardly represents an industry bent on profitability and concealing the truth. If they truly had nothing to hide, they would reveal the chemicals used in fracking, release those with whom they settled from their non-disclosure agreements, and petition to have the court records unsealed. Incidents of contamination related complaints number in the thousands: thetimes-tribune/news/gas-drilling-complaints-map-1.1490926?parentPage=2.2127 The claim that the wells will produce "20 to 40 years" is also a lie. Fracked wells deplete rapidly, and the whole "shale boom" may not last 40 years: globalresearch.ca/the-fracked-up-usa-shale-gas-bubble/5326504 This is true, as far as it goes: "Fracking the Marcellus shale happens some 6,000 feet underground. That is about 5,000 feet below groundwater supplies. Drills and pipes penetrate aquifers, but they are encased in multiple layers of steel and concrete designed to separate drinking water from fracking fluids (which are 99 percent water and sand and only 1 percent chemicals)." But there is a truth the gassers do not want the public to know: timesunion/opinion/article/Fracking-is-hardly-leakproof-3646458.php While gasers will argue that this can be solved by capping the wells, Capping only "theoretically" stops the gas from escaping. The truth is that there are millions of capped wells, almost all of which still leak, and capping a well does not solve the problem of damaged casings allowing contaminants into water supplies. If anything, the pressure that may build up will forc the contaminants into the water supply. whenbullhitsthefan.wordpress/2013/05/02/how-most-people-misunderstood-the-recent-epa-report-on-methane/
