  • @moparmonster1965 last i checked I can not pay my house off with bits of string.

  • @natasprotector Bingo, you hit the nail on the head! More money, and that's what it's all about, boys and girls.

  • @natasprotector That's fine, but the Federal Government says otherwise. I think I'll take their word over yours because they can put us in prison and your opion cannot.

  • @natasprotector And again, PA is flat broke. The rules don't mean anything if no one's going to enforce them, do they?

  • @natasprotector I'm actually looking at that now, and it's actually 98-99.5% (not 99.99%) that's supposed to be water, but if millions of gallons of water are used at any given site, and at that percentage, how many gallons of chemicals does that make?

  • You're being deliberately dull here now; if the fracking fluid gets into groundwater aquafers, it's very easy for those untold number of gallons of chemicals to get into drinking water. You're assuming that being some 7,000 feet below the surface means it's not near an aquafer, which may be true, but if you're passing through one on the way to that depth, you absolutely risk contaimination.

  • @moparmonster1965 only secret about frac fluid is that fact we do not share the exact amount of the known chemicals we use. the reason for this is simple. Our fracturing gets a better flow of gas out of shale, which means more gas which = more money. more money for our companies more money for our landowners. If you put our production next to my competitors the results are highly different b/c of that mix we use. So when it comes to competition over who to lease with our results reign supreme.

  • @moparmonster1965 it is not secret! you can look at the DEP website to see what it is used and you do know that 99.9% of frac fluid is water and sand. Also the targeted shales are over 7,000 feet below surface, that means over a mile away from water aquifers. Logic tells me that frac fluid can not magically travel up through miles of sandstone, shale, limestone, dolomite, chert, and what ever other rock formation is between them.

  • @moparmonster1965 as I said before I am for states rights not Federal rights

  • @moparmonster1965 keep in mind PA has the stongest drilling regulations in the United States.
