This book is gonna make a lot of people madder than they already are but more than likely educate the misinformed fence-sitters.



Ezra Levant: ‘Not one drop of poisoned water’



All the anti-fracking hype is designed to make you believe that the U.S. government has been asleep at the switch when it comes to monitoring environmental safety. The activists want you to believe that a film director named Josh Fox can grab a video camera and, within a few months of driving around the country, easily expose a catalogue of hazards that all the experienced and educated scientists at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), not to mention all the state regulators, missed.

Fox even implies that U.S. President Barack Obama has been naively misled on the issue by the dastardly oil and gas industry. In July 2013, Fox wrote an open letter to Obama, in which he reminds the president how frequently he’s met with industry representatives. He implores the president to meet with him and seven families who “have all had their lives ruined” by fracking.“We seek to discuss with you the dark side of fracking, a perspective that has not yet been presented to you with adequate weight or emphasis,” he writes. Of course, if anyone knows just how informed the president of the United States is, it must be a crusading New York City filmmaker.
The Environmental Protection Agency has found no proven cases of fracking-related contamination. Exactly zero. Not a single one, anywhere, ever

I might even be willing to listen then I see the picture of this guy and I wouldn't buy
anything new or used from him. Seriously we don't know one way or another
whether the process is safe not enough has been done to the underground water
supply to determine that.

And Doctors misdiagnose too, yet we should set the bar at 100% certainty from the EPA? That's the worst risk management advice ever, and I'm sure Ezra knows it.

Here's something for Ezra to chew on:
http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/documents/EPA_ReportOnPavillion_Dec-8-2011.pdf

From the conclusions:
While each individual data set or observation represents an important line of reasoning, taken as a whole, consistent data sets and observations provide compelling evidence to support an explanation of data. Using this approach, the explanation best fitting the data for the deep monitoring wells is that constituents associated with hydraulic fracturing have been released into the Wind River drinking water aquifer at depths above the current production zone.

The green movement is a scheme to get consumers to pay for cheap, abundant, organic, free range NG distribution, extraction, gas turbines and coal power conversions and the NA and EU electric grids.

If NA and EU are going to compete industrial they need oodles of low cost, abundant energy on demand. They need the coal for carbon to make steel to build all this giving it more value than a heat source.

The trillions of $ to do this has to come from somewhere since NG doesn't have the markets to the capital to do it like oil is able to.

That's funny. I don't think you meant to be.

It does. It's kind of odd that natural gas would come from the ground through pipes.

A good driller would have been monitoring for potential hydrocarbons in the strata long before casing it up for the customer and calling it safe.

You get what you pay for.

If that happeed to my well I'd install a gas dryer and compressor to store the NG to heat my home or run a genny.

Have an expansion chamber in the attic and the gasses collect there. If you have that much gas to run those things I'd be a bit concerned.
