@rowdykain8 ??  How old old are you? These wells are almost 4000 meters deep. Thats over 7000 feet.

@STEWARDPAR Well, they have been doing it here since the 1920s.. People have been living longer every decade, why don't you go learn something instead of spouting doomsday rhetoric, its getting old. This is an oil province, always has been..out of 30 thousand wells frac'ed here NOT ONE has ever affected a well or drinking water. After the water is pumped down, the well is flowed back for a 100% clean-out, the water is then re-used.

Wonder how many of you will be around to bitch about the damn tree huggers who were trying to save ours/yours and your family and loved ones earth.......and health..............cancer is not pretty, it is insidious...and when you realize that you have condoned the reasons we have it.....it is too late for us to take it back.

Yea! Let's watch a half ass made documentary by someone who went to the Michael Moore School of film. The well that they portray in that are form the west. They are all vertical, shallow wells. The wells in PA a deep. (5000 feet). So when somebody creditable make a film that is the WHOLE truth then you can use it as a fact based.

To the denial people, try this out for size: Oscar nominated documentary on fracking: Gasland

[MsTOCKEY]

Hey, 1977hall, this is not conventional gas this is shale gas, BC's own Deepwater Horizon! In the end it is not about the gas to heat your home, it will be moved to the tarsands, so that we can sell the bitumen to the USA! Goodbye BC'a pristine water supply! Water before oil and gas! Water is life. Shocking stuff!

[1977jhall]

It's people like you that clearly drive around in your shiny new diesel or gas pickup, live in your nice house that is heated by gas but still find it in your daily routine to complain about the industry that heats and powers your home. You are a hypocritical moron. Get a life. Loser.

This is from someone who was actually there. You and your group hid in the bush and filmed what you wanted to. You would have been more than welcome to come onto location and discuss operations. That would be the proper way to do things don't you think. I guess as long as it makes for good filming it is okay. Due to nut cases such as you who misinform the public exactly what is going on no one ever really knows or understands the truths to "fracs" .

sounds like a bunch of damn tree huggers, they just cant stop their bitchin'
