The Gasland documentary is worth seeing. It must be noted that it is an effective subjective look at the fracking industry in the US, but basically the story told is true. Actually, from what I´ve found the real truth is worse than what is told in Gasland. The immediate effect of fracking in the US farmland renders vast areas with a contaminated water supply. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

There's bound to be a few mishaps at first. I bet Brunel didn't finish the major railway network in Britain without icing a few workers or more. Industrialisation is the only way forward, unless we want to return to a world where every time one needs a shit, you'll be forced to dig a hole first. _________________ ACHTUNG!

Minor local earthquakes aren´t really much of a problem. It´s the other stuff that´s a showstopper for the next 20 centuries.
It can go course be argued that brits have been eating lead and breathing in coal dust for centuries already. They won´t notice much.. and certainly they won´t figure out what killed them after the fact.. and as they will stop breeding soon due to genetic defects and what have you.. well.. who needs that little wet thing ? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Fracking is one huge fucked up disaster. We aren´t talking a few mishaps. This is a major FAIL. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
Yeah, I'm not happy they want to do it here either ... apart from the disasters coming from it as seen in the US .. we need to stop burning stuff anyway .. at least burning stuff that we did not "un-burn" before _________________ Jan

I disagree. With the right investment, as well as the right amount of research a process for extraction similar to fracking is quite feasible. It just needs to be done properly, and without some crazed government and oil tycoon getting in on the act for cheap profit (although the Americans are very good at oil mining. Vicious yes, but good, of course! )
Some of the greatest inventions ever have caused untold mayhem in their early days, and the malthusians would love all of this, because it would mean a few less people on the planet! _________________ ACHTUNG!

Tom, look into how fracking works. A possible solution could be to dig around the shale areas and then encapsulate everything in a carbon fiber box and them encapsulate that inside something else.. then start the fracking..
So.. not really feasible.. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

The first video is absolutely right. Fracking could be a great thing! It just needs much better regulation. Get rid of the cowboys etc.
And all these idiots on Wall Street having a go at the bankers, should really be having a go at governments, as it is governments who set the rules- the same rules and regs which could be set with fracking.
How many miners have lost their lives in the last 6 months mining for coal?
Well there's the Welsh miners and the Yorkshire miners for a start- then all the rest. And that miraculous rescue (a rare thing indeed) in Chile. Do I need to go on? _________________ ACHTUNG!

You haven't really made your case, apart from a load of fairly sensationalist vids, why this is such a fuckup.
I'm listening.
DJ- I like the idea. Not too sure about the ensuing mega-volcano though Although I'm sure you'd get even richer on the out spuing of diamonds bigger than your wildest dreams! _________________ ACHTUNG!

It actually takes time to study this. Not that there is a lot of new stuff to discover as the the actual technology as well as the stuff regarding shale deposits is kiddie stuff.
As for shale gas.. you can read up on the subject..quite interesting.. but it boils down to the fact that you have to crack and apply pressure to a large area of shale rock in order to let the gas out. They drill a hole and apply a tremendous force of liquid .. this makes the shale rock crack.. voila.. the stuff is leaking out.. and hopefully a fair amount of the good shit comes back up a well hole. Actually there is a bit more to it as they fracking liquid is a nasty cocktail. The fracking liquid is pretty much poison already.
There are no real alternatives to the current method. You gotta crack and mess up the shale rock in order to release the stuff.. and you gotta fracking liquid and water. The idea that all the gas and the fracking liquid comes back up in an orderly fashion in the well holes as intended is an illusion. It must be noted that the stuff that does come up as intended leads to problems too, but that is another matter. Gas fracking is a crude technology and due to how gas deposits in shale rock works in reality there won´t likely be a less crude way to get at it. Coal mining is almost as crude as it gets.. but fracking is really way worse. You can at least bring out coal in manageable pieces. Gas in shale rock does not in any way behave comparable to coal.. or even oil.
Instead the shit leaks out ... cracks.. remember..? And the ground water gets it share of the nasty stuff. That is not good. And there is no such thing as ground water getting its man pants on and fixing the pollution on her own. Polluted ground water stays that way. Keep in mind that many places ground water is the main supply of clean drinkable water.
We have seen very destructive industrial practices before involving lead, asbestos, radioactive substances and such. Now there are laws controlling the use of such substances. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
Aha.. right... from an industry standpoint I reckon the USA has had it already and as 2012 arrives we can expect the Yellowstone supervolcano to go up and who needs farmland covered with volcanic ash? Sell Sell!!
Soon the american continent will only be occupied by a few hundred survivalist tea party gunmen. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
On the other hand, if we consider it unlikely that the world ends in 2012 it just might be a good idea to consider to treat the only planet we have a tad better.

Think about it Tom! Once.. way way back your brilliant nordic genes decided to tour Britain and after violating nuns and sacking cities your genes suddenly woke up and found themselves soaked in lead and coal dust.
