“We’re the crown jewel here,” said Marchie Diffendorf, chairman of the landowners group and a Broome County legislator. “You hear a lot of stories (from Pennsylvania) about people putting in new kitchens and new bathrooms and buying new trucks and tractors. When I sign a lease I’m going to do some remodeling on the house.” WTF this Guy needs a new Kitchen!
What is sad is that most of the gas is being liquified and sold to China. I am amazed at how many people think America is benefiting from this drilling. You are being used and maybe you will wake up before its too late.
@hythloth70 Do you have a reference for this information? The last available information from the US Energy Information Administration indicated the US was shipping no natural gas to China.
we are all being fooled here this is not a great thing but our world is being ruined by greedy people. we need water clean water to live and fracking is destroying drinking water natural gas will ruin your well water and don,t think you can filter your water and make it safe. WATCH GASLAND BY JOSH FOX get the truth and please don't be foolish and sign a lease to allow for natural gas drilling on your property and beg your neighbors not to for all our sakes and our children LOVE your FAMILY
if ya`ll dont wont the oil company`s on your land...... DONT LEASE IT TO THEM!!!!!!!!! and can anyone show me a solid proof video of contamination not a video of someone complaining about what they THINK is wrong . i`m not saying there arent any i just cant find them
I think you're ignoring real concerns about this process. This man says they use water and sand to frac the stone. In fact, they use poisonous chemicals.
ALso the process seems to be contaminating water supplies everywhere this fracing occurs.
Watch the video over there of the man who can light his sink faucet water.
There are reports coming from all areas of poluted water.
The gas companys don't care about any problems with water or enviroment if the goverment did not make them do some of the things they are doing to be a little cleaner they wouldn't even do that. It's all about the bucks.
Yeah, that is something Clean Water Action is concerned about. The major problem is what happens to the water after it is used for hydrofracing. We are talking thousands and thousands of gallons of extremely contaminated water. Also, it is very difficult to make sure these fracing wells don't get cracks. A leak in the well leads to gas leaks, which has a high probability of getting into drinking wells. This gas would not be detected, because it would not be odorized yet. This is a HUGE problem.
This is a horrible deception. I have seen the photos. Giant pools of toxic water with almost 250 chemicals - which the drilling companies refuse to reveal - are left in pools on the surface. Fresh water becomes toxic water, many billions of gallons worth. The land is damaged with roads, diesel equipment, trucks, and toxic emissions. The PA Extension has been complicit in "selling" landowners on the purity of the process. This is a terrible disservice to PA citizens.
I think the record shows that PSU Extension has provided accurate, fact based information about the process of natural gas exploration. We've presented the facts about the issues you mention during our educational programs.
It is not horrible its a process. the companies take it very serious I would know i work on a drilling rig the operators and contractors do not take any spills or other things lightly. Yeah there is chemicals ivoved but most of them are from the earth anyways they clean and dispose of the waste accordingly to the laws but most of the waste can be used as fertilizer
As educators please report the truth on technology used: hydraulic fracturing involves chemicals also. The US House is investigating claims that gas companies inject diesel fuel, benezene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene in the fraking liquid, which in turn contaminated drinking water, causing serious physical ailments in residents. In one sample 171 products were identified containing altogether 245 different chemicals, 92 percent of which have adverse health effects.
The applachian mountain coal fields represent seven coal seams only within 2,000 feet of the surface. For your information the Alabama section of the applachian coal has Dominion resources DOM [NYSE] generating $30 million per year from 532 wells all only 2,000 feet deep!The wells produce from the coal seams, Methene.who diverted the coal play for natural gas in coal similar to the DOM "Black Warrior TRust" operation in Alabama to finding a small 20ft seam of shale 5,000 feet below the surface?

These gas companys should be stopped. All this is doing is destroying our enviroment

This is terrible biased information about the industry. Do your homework. I promise you won't have to dig that deep. Gas drilling is dangerous.

Fools to allow this. The downside far outlasts the fast money

They aren't using just water and sand, they are using poisonous chemicals.
And these are leaching into water supplies.
Also the fraccing process has caused gas leaks into water supplies.
You can't just ingore this stuff.

Why not talk about this openly?

During the two years that I spent fracing (at least 2 wells /wk), I can tell you that we never had a casing breach.,
nathanb2004 2 years ago
What about the poisonous chemicals leaking into water supplies, and the fractures causing gas to leak into home water supplies?

People aren't making this stuff up.
Water is being poisoned in this process.
