Fracking is a cheap source of energy.

Can we do that here?

not a tree hugger, but fracking is generally a bad idea after a while

Why is that sir?

[Walter]

Why is that sir?

Google is your friend.

[b_9904]

Google is your friend.

Common sense is not common.

Specially true when you say google is your friend.

Even more so, when you do not substantiate a claim.

[Walter]

Yes, agree with this. It's actually common sense.

[b_9904]

No proof.

geothermal plants causes more minor quakes.

[Manilablock]

anything that you do below ground will have an effect above.

[b_9904]

Well, that depends what you do there.

I mean, its not like every activity will affect anything.

^yeah, and that actually answered the questions

It does not, but the video goes against " common sense".

Counter-intuitive, no.

So, you need to prove things. Not just spatter "it is common sense that it is bad."

Methane: Good Gas, Bad Gas - Pictures, More From National Geographic Magazine

But here is a question: where have I heard the name Dimock before?

[b_9904]

Benham Rise

Filipinos dive into the waters of Benham Rise for the first time

So what if, the gas in the Rise is shale gas?

We will not frack that then?

From the Springer link:

Third, academic research over the last four years suggests that water quality concerns associated with fracking may be more serious than water quantity concerns. The literature has identified more definitive links between shale gas development and impacts on surface water quality, and emerging research is consistent with groundwater quality impacts. The rapid pace of expansion in the industry suggests that new research aimed at quantifying water quality impacts, characterizing their pathways, and assessing options (for industry and/or policymakers) for their mitigation will have high value

Are these peer reviewed?

Was this article peer reviewed as well?

What were the methodologies?

What are the levels in these water contaminations? How did they isolate the contaminations so as to trace them back to drilling and fracking shale gas?

Which brings us to this:

Some evidence suggests that movement of methane from shale gas wells to groundwater wells in overlying aquifers may have occurred in the Marcellus [56–58] and Barnett shale plays [56], but these studies have been controversial and have been challenged as lacking evidence that the methane came from the fractured area. A related study in the Arkansas Fayetteville Shale did not detect evidence in groundwater of stray gas contamination, or contamination by brine [59]. Results from studies observing methane in water wells near shale gas development are consistent with well casing and cementing failures rather than upward migration from the shale formations through fracking itself (or through natural conduits) [56]. The fact that current research points to faulty casing and cementing (rather than fracking, per se) as the likely cause of observed groundwater contamination suggests the need for additional scientific and policy analysis in this area.

So, the casings and cenent failed.

Not unique to fracking shale gas. Conventional oil drilling suffers from this as well.
