They only thing that I still don't completely understand is the need to use chemicals...

Is that to set off minor explosions??... Please enlighten..

Because I don't think from 2 miles away we can push/ pressue anything far enough to cause very many cracks in bedrock that far below the surface.? 

And what chemicals are they using, again....???

Something that wasn't mentioned in this little piece ( at least i didn 't see it) is increased earthquake activity in areas around where fracking is being done. I lived south of Youngstown for a while and when we bought our home we had to buy insurance to protect us from our home falling into an abandonded mine. No choice we had to buy it. It seems there are so many old mines in that area that are not maped the only thing that could be done was force people to have insurance incase thier hose sank into an old shaft/

      Now youngstown experienced a multitude of mino quakes while fracking was going on and they stopped when the fracking did after a month or so. The problem I see is fracking in areas like the one we lived in and fracking is going to happen there soon. How many homes will be lost adn maybe even lives lost when fracking causes enough movement in those old mining areas that they begin to collapse ? We moved this summer but three fuel plants are being erected whithin 15 miles of where our home was and mineral rights have been bought up in the last year like dogs fighting over a scap of meat.

NEWS BREAK !

It is a scientific fact that deep earthquakes transfer much more energy when shifting a solid rock base.

Deep Hydraulic Fracturing these dense areas makes earthquakes less destructive.

All earthquake prone areas should welcome this technology if for nothing more than saving the children.

The water table is thousands of feet above the fracturing.

If the Progressive Libtards could accept Realville we would all fare better.....

What about those Wind Turbines chopping up birds?.....you Libtard Idiots need to focus.

This ought to get some laughs!

     I once traveled to Ogallala, Neb on business back in 2007 and stopped at a local Mckide's to get a big Mac. I ordered a large coke and the clerk said we only have bottled water. I asked why this was here reply. Our water has become contaminated and we can't sell anything but bottled water. So the water is already bad so how can the keystone pipe line effect it anymore. I laugh every time I see the Dem. on Capitol Hill make remarks about the Ogallala aquifer now. And how the keystone pipeline will harm it, its already polluted.
