YSK that fracking is not safe. Residents living near fracking sites are significantly more likely to get cancer
Proximity to fracking sites associated with risk of childhood cancer
you see, it raises the GDP!!!
I have experienced earthquakes. In Kansas City, Missouri. One had an epicenter near Stillwater, Oklahoma.
That’s not supposed to happen.
The things you’re saying are supposed to be suppressed
Lots of people have tried to convince us it's safe. Those are the people making money from fracking.
$it's $completely $ fine$ everyone$ should $ frack.
Using fracking if you could have electric cars shows that it is all about spoiling ground water.
This is the preparation for selling water to everybody.
Everyone not being paid to do it would tell you it's a bad idea. They break rocks in the substrata with no idea of how it will go or what effects it might have. Awuafers have been poisoned with natural gas, water tables have been ruined and misdirected. When the well is no longer profitable, they "cap" it and move on to greener pastures, letting the remaining gas bleed off into the environment unchecked. There are dozens of problems with fracking, but gas go boom so...
Yes yes, but think of the shareholder profits. Thats what really matters here, not these childish fantasies about the horrible nature of frakking and the fact that it makes water flammable! /s
Is this "fracking"?
"Fracking (also known as hydraulic fracturing, fracing, hydrofracturing, or hydrofracking) is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of formations in bedrock by a pressurized liquid."
Well since it says "fracking" then that means it is fracking
It's either that... Or maybe they're talking about getting freaky on Battlestar Gallactica? It's hard to tell.
Thank you.
Wanted to fetch the description of the thing...
I just hope I got it right 😅
Even longer than that.
But gas means money, so fuck anyone and everything else that might get in the way.
And earthquakes
Also literal fire for tap water
And Mongolian death worms.
Good luck finding land that is not near fracking sites. It's been done basically everywhere, right?
yes and no. You would like to do it in relatively cheap and less populated area, and where cracks are a bit closer to surface (you do not want to drill a lot, as that would not be economically beneficial)
There isn't gas or oil everywhere.
Adding more data to a conclusion every reasonable person knows has been happening for far too long.
If someone "knew" before we had data, that's not my definition of reasonable.
That is why they said "adding more data." We already know tons of other bad shit about it, now we know an additional bad thing.
And still there's politicians out there saying things like "I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases". Playing with people's lives just to make a buck. Really shows they're not beholden to the people but to the owning class.
that's BS there's plenty of studies that shows how fracking is very healthy (for the shareholders)
Those kids are very bad people, at least one of them has links to the MS-13 gang.
And the others had shared sensitive pokemon information with that one. biggest threat to national security.
water is wet
Good that we in Europe can't buy Russian oil or gas (officiall) and get that beautiful fracking gas from the US regime or equally marvelous Qatar at 8 times the price.
And nicely shipped in an endless stream of diesel tankers.
What a fracking good deal.
Some Lemmy communities would die than realize the environmental harm Europe is doing to itself to make enemies with Russia
Europe isn’t making enemies with Russia, bud. Russia literally attacked them, it’s not “making enemies” to engage in self-defense and to not fund the people attacking you.
But my freedom...
There is a wild documentary called Gasland that took a look at Fracking. The movie used IR glasses to look at a fracking site that was in use. With the naked eye you couldn’t see anything, with the IR glasses there was steady stream of black exhaust that just flowed into a near by town.
The number of tractor trailer’s of liquids that go into a fracking site is astronomical.
Don't worry! Texas just passed a law allowing reclaimed fracking water to irrigate crops. That way everyone can get cancer!

All the food is poison!
Them girls look scared shitless at the end of that.
