Anti-Fracking Hysteria Hits St. Tammany Parish

These are the same "conservative Republicans" who cry foul when we small timber growers want to burn out underbrush. God, I'm beginning to hate these people.

Yep, butI don't think they will stop the fracking.

I heard about this and laughed.
Those same timber companies (largest tracts of land)doing controlled burns, want nothing more than for the oil companies to come in and dot the woods with well sites.

I dont see St.Tammany getting the TMS attention that others farther to the north will get. A lot of hoopla over nothing imo.
I was in Kansas last week and they are having people try to shut them down to save the Lesser Prairie Chicken from the drillers. 84 year old rancher told me he has never even seen a prairie chicken.

the anti fracking movement is akin to the US staging the moon landing movement.
people don't want to educate themselves, they want to listen to left wing environmental loons

Jury awards family $3 million in fracking lawsuit
In Texas, of all places.
Scientists: fracking responsible for flaming drinking water in Parker County
More illegally dumped radioactive fracking waste in North Dakota
Fracking found to have contaminated groundwater in Alberta
I'm not for shutting fracking down, but don't kid yourself that it's completely benign.

This is standard. If the prairie chicken bs doesn't work, they'll try some other obscure "threatened" species or conjured environmental concern.
Remember kids, when they change their bullshite argument in mid stream, that's how you know they're liars.

Nobody wants to comment on the links I provided?

Can you post a link to all forms of energy production that have not had a significant accident or environmental damage associated with them? TIA.

There are none. What's your point? I was responding to this
And was observing that there are issues with fracking, and that having concerns is reasonable, not a fringe position.

That's relevant, how?

Those for it don't seem to want to educate themselves either.

Didn't you previously state that you have or will have a personal gain from fracking?

We don't need more folks moving into this region. However, I'm all in favor of fracking; I have a dog in this fight.

Hysteria. It's not reasonable.

All's I know is this is bringing a *ton* of money to rural Texas and, increasingly LA.
Just wondering for anyone who knows... How long is the lifespan of an average NG well? What do they do with that little piece of land when it depletes?
In Texas, we have a lot of old, rusting iron horses that I assume aren't and won't be producing ever again.

for every link you post bemoaning the big bad fracking monster....I can post a hundred links to SCIENTIFIC studies saying exactly the opposite. hell, we could play that game all day.
as far as energy companies dumping waste, it has NOTHING to do with this discussion. 100% irrelevant to fracking a well. if they were found to illegally dump any form of waste, whether its hydrocarbons, frack fluid, or contaminated mud...they should be held to the highest extent of the law. heck, your fed govt has been illegally dumping nuclear pollution for 30 yrs and now you have a conscience?
out of the thousands....tens of thousands of wells that are fracked each year...one or two MIGHT....MIGHT leak methane into a drinking reservoir? hell, it's not like we're fracking a field of roses...it's fricking hydrocarbons!!!! for pete's sake....it's been down there for 10mm years adjacent to their freaking drinking water and now people worry that it might come in contact with their drinking water...HELLO, Mcfly.
it's a ridiculous argument, if that's the case let's shut down all forms of energy production and let people pay $10 a gal for gas then they'll be begging us to frack.
fracking is no more than pressuring up a hydrocarbon zone with soaps, gels and proppant...and yes every once in a while acids. if people think it can transmit from 2 miles below the earth into their drinking water at 25 foot...well, tell 'em to stick a fricking tap on their faucet and harvest all the oil and methane. tell 'em to watch out for the H2S stuff.

Some places where fracing " caused" flaming water, already had this ignitable water
They just don't tell you that in the propaganda movies
