Natural gas producers have been running roughshod over communities across the country with their extraction and production activities for too long, resulting in contaminated water supplies, dangerous air pollution, destroyed streams, and devastated landscapes. Weak safeguards and inadequate oversight fail to protect our communities from harm by the rapid expansion of fossil fuel production using hydraulic fracturing or "fracking."
Just like they are trying to put an end to coal mining. Leftists don't want us to be energy independent, or have affordable energy. They can start paying my electric bill.
It's not fair for America do be energy independent. Its an unjust, racist action in the face of the rest of the World.
Mircea, I never expected you, of all people to buy the "fracking is contaminating aquifiers" propaganda! There is no evidence whatsoever that fracking is harmful. It takes place thousands of feet below the surface. Well below any water.
In my area of NE Ohio, there is a lot of fracking going on right now, and I haven't heard of any issues yet with anyone's water.
We plan to lease our 11 acres (as soon as leasing ramps up again this Spring). I'm excited, and it is good for the economy.
This is great news!
Here in east Texas, we've been fracking for decades. No ill effects. It's great for the economy. Life is good.
The U.S. is overtaking Russia as the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas, a startling shift that is reshaping markets and eroding the clout of traditional energy-rich nations.
U.S. energy output has been surging in recent years, a comeback fueled by shale-rock formations of oil and natural gas that was unimaginable a decade ago. A Wall Street Journal analysis of global data shows that the U.S. is on track to pass Russia as the world's largest producer of oil and gas combined this year—if it hasn't already.
Well good for Canada also since we finally can be in reach to be energy independent and OPEC has no influence over us and can not be price gouged and begin to enjoy not being a major importer but a to meet our needs and our reserves are loaded up we can become net Oil AND LNG exporters
