telepromt much?

@MrJosephSchmoe also, generated steam turns the turbine that make electricity

[saintmj57]

@MrJosephSchmoe ok.....steam is zero emission because steam is water.......what you use to make steam, however is a different story.....the power plants in ny use mostly oil to heat water ( some use nat. gas turbines, abt 2% use nuke ) to a temp that is so hot , its called super heated steam....aka so hot you cant see it, but if you get burned by it, it can cut ur arm off like a laser.....thats the steam thats pumped into buildings like the empire state building, and newer 'green' buildings

[MrJosephSchmoe]

@saintmj57 Really... I would be interested to hear more of this zero emission steam electricity that you speak of. It sounds too good to be true.

very scary !!! pollution aside, wtf about the threat of EARTHQUAKES ???

[saintmj57]

@MrJosephSchmoe u dumass ! there are LOTS of people that live in nyc that r just trying to work and live a regular life ! and yes we still fish / swim / boat AND drink our water , which btw is considered some of the best water in the world....ALSO as one who once worked in the electric power plants of nyc, i know that to generate power we use steam made with fuel (boiler) oil..besides, most of manhattan has steam power( = no emissions) piped in the bldgs to power lights, a.c. , elevators , etc.

[MrJosephSchmoe]

If we drill for gas anywhere it should be on the island of manhattan. They have already bulldozed and paved their landscape and polluted their rivers to the point that they will not sustain life. That is where all the pipelines ultimately end up anyway, and these are the clowns that will be heating their buildings and powering their lights with the fuel. Its a win win.

[MrJosephSchmoe]

I heard 700 million gallons per well, and the majority of the flow back surfaces within a mile of the drill site at the points of least resistance. This would explain the herds of dead deer and cattle that keep being discovered and the thousands and thousands of acres of dead forests in Dimock, PA

I would say that these comments are extremely mild.

Runoff? That's a tiny part of what we're worried about!

They use a "large amount of water" for hydrofracking? No, they use a ABHORRENTLY TREMENDOUS amount of fresh, clean, pure water! At least 60 million gallons of OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE per well! 10,000 wells in NY alone! What will be left to contaminate????
