PJ Media » Debunking a Few Commonly Held Fracking Myths.
- Migration of frackling fluids to the surface
- Gas in the water
The people with the flammable sinks do not have “city water” delivered by pipes. They drill wells and obtain their water right off their own land. And when you drill a well fifty or one hundred feet into the ground, you’re going to tap into some natural gas a majority of the time. Several companies have done steady business in the area selling water filtration systems to remove the released gases for decades.
None of this, however, is allowed to penetrate the profitable storyline woven by environmental activists today. And in their efforts to shut down the flow of natural gas, they will hold the feet of politicians to the fire, asking them to continue bans on fracking such as are still in place in New York. And with enough money flowing into campaign war chests, combined with a willingly gullible voter base, it will continue to work.
And there are lots of “willingly gullible voters” in the front range.
