Bowling for Columbine was a fraud.

And a very poorly done one at that.

I hope they frac the crap out of the well that they're gonna drill on my lease.

Even Obama's EPA director admits there's not one proven case where fracing has contaminated a water table. No dangger of that happeningg in the deep shale fields in South Texas or North Dakota, as those plays are one to three miles deep.

EPA JACKSON “Not Aware of Any Proven Case Where the Fracking Process Itself Has Affected Water”

Lol, that was in 2004! Also, the EPA and Texas have kind of a complicated relationship. I don't think the data is as cut-and-dry as Sen. Inhofe implies.

Although the EPA did have to backtrack on the accusations that they originally made, and I in no way believe that the RR threat to pull out of a study would dissuade the EPA from pursing them. RR is just one of a multitude of companies that frac, so their withdrawal would have been inconsequential in the overall picture. There simply was not any evidence that the fracing affected those wells. Send the same information to 100 experts, and one or two are going to get on the 'its evil, therefore it must be the cause' bandwagon. The rest will look at it and say, no, it did not come from the fracing. And who do you think is going to end up in the news? The boring ones?

Story on the radio today about how Fracking is causing earthquakes in the Dallas area and how other states are having similar issues, so yeah fracking's great.

So, you're saying that there is now definitive proof that fracking causes earthquakes? Care to provide a link, maybe? To the radio station's site?

That's a joke.

There are earth tremors, even when construction goes on everywhere, when cars run off the road, when Rosie O'Donnell stamps her foot,....all over the USA, all the time, for millions of years.

Get back to us when buildings start falling down anywhere close to an oil/gas field. lol

Meanwhile...back to Honey Booboo and Dancing With the Stars.

That's not definitive. I see a lot of "maybe", "could be", "probably", "thinks" in that article. To hear you explain it, there was an undeniable link identified. This is the same old same old.

Well the Dallas area went from a place that almost never had quakes to a place that is having quakes all the time. Other states have changed their fracking regulations to deal with this issue. Nothing is 100 percent but it appears to be a factor.
