Hydrofracing

It only takes one issue with a gas company well to have long term effects on the environment, and as we all know a bit too well, those long term effects will never ever come back on the gas company. They may get away with a cheap fine, and you are left rolling the dice for your familys well being.
We have seen negligence on many companies part here in Pennsylvania, it is hard to prove anything after 10-20 years, much less secure money to fight a large gas company. Even class actions have a hard time, and more often than not, you will unlikely make the settlement date as they drag out the court proceedings.

There in Central Arkansas where the bird kills happened up the same little road as the fracking well, and the earthquake swarm halted the drilling operations, we are left to make our best guesses what's been done below our feet in secret.

I don't know **** about Fracking, but this bird kill thing in Central Arkansas (Beebe area) is a red herring. The birds killed themselves at night by flying into obstructions from being frightend by fireworks. this has happened several times now . This is NOT some secret poison being pumped into the ground. All of the birds showed blunt force trauma injury's and the kills all happened at once. This is NOT poison. I have a friend and co worker who is making approximately $5000 per month from from his leases. He has no equipment or roads or gas company people on his land. But because they are getting gas from under his land (from next door neighbors place) he is being paid. He is enjoying paying off his house and having a nice college fund going for his children. He is darn sure pro gas Fracking. He has no problems and is reaping a very unexpected windfall. I wish I lived there instead of here and was making $5000 a month for doing nothing but being lucky enough to buy some land back when no one ever heard of the gas fields in Central Arkansas. Like I said I don't know about all the dangers of Fracking or even if they exist or not. But I do know about the birds. and the previous post about the poisoned birds is bird ****

Big foot "Just realize that fracking a well, 2 or 3 miles down, deep in the earth, is a LONG way from the aquifers where we draw our drinking water"

True, But if the casing is not installed right, it leaks. Ya know, Like cut some corners to save some cash.

Again I apologize for saying things against the gas drilling, I was misinformed.
gasdrill.org - Fracking Info
and by the way as I stated before the person testing my well had already been paid by me and I had contacted them. I thought the test was perhaps a waste of money but decided to go ahead with it just to be safe. Something like insurance. So after he had collected the water samples and mapped the location of my well I asked him if they had found any problems from the drilling. I had hoped he would say nothing or a very small number. 10% of the wells tested is not a small number. But as has been stated by those much more intelligent that all of this is just BS because nothing has ever been proven.
and as far as being the spawn of satan , I must be for ever saying anything against the gas drilling.

So they say.

I suspect the birds were killed by a black helicopter flying Halliburton executives from Houston to Pennsylvania. They were going to a secret meeting to plan how to rape and pillage the Northeast United States.

Actually, fracking, by one means or another is actually nothing new. I know they were doing it to oil wells in the early 1950s, and probably before that. I think they called it "shooting" a well back then. And I never heard of anyone complaining. But now we have a much larger population, greater needs for energy sources, and a lot of rumors that may or may not have any basis in fact. Of course gas & oil companies are going to try to get leases as cheaply as possible. What business doesn't try to buy as low as possible and sell as high as possible.

And they're able to drill much deeper than they could 50 years ago. Is that good or bad? Could that cause earthquakes? Could it contaminate water? Are there safer chemicals available that those being used? I don't know, and I doubt that many of those who posted in this thread know either.

Or maybe we'd rather just buy our energy supplies from the mid-east and give them the money and jobs.

My Dad worked for Sun Oil and they were "stimulating" wells in the 60's like bird said the they were shooting them then too.
They weren't doing any horizontal drilling the did do the angle drilling back then but they were straight angled outward from the pad to reach larger area.

So they say.

Well what ever killed the birds it for darn sure was not poisoning from injecting dangerous chemicals into the ground. It happened again on Jan 1 from a new years fireworks celebration.

The real question is:

Did Halliburton pay for the fireworks? :laughing:

Yes they did. They have a deep underlying hatred for all things avian:laughing:
