Parkerguy, Fracking was in a learning process and did indeed cause leakage into the water system but hopefully it is now improved to the point that it is no longer a danger or at least they have convinced or bought the government into believing that it's safe. I'm all for it as there has always been a learning curve on inventing anything worth while. Jackie B.

Don't believe the MSM hype on "the dangers of fracking". There have been over 1 million wells fracked over the last 60 or so years and not one documented case of drinking water contamination. That is very safe. The "controversy" over fracking is just another alarmist scare by the far left enviros.

No need to worry; ban the process. As were banning (or placing great hurdles) the drilling for oil, coal fired plants, and nuke plants.

Wind mills and solar energy will provide for all....

By the way, we will need to allow the power companies to put up transmissions lines to connect to the wind mill and solar energy parks. Bet we can't have that either.

Copper, I am 64 this Aug. grew up when automobiles were spewing unpleasant odors, swam in highly polluted rivers, drank from creeks when the friends and I were out wandering. We all survived, don't worry about fracking and stop listening to the green propaganda like methane coming out of someones spigot. The fracking industry is just like the oil boom of the 1900's

Do a little research and you will find there are false claims of contamination and there are some valid claims. Read the whole article above to get a better understanding of the process.

What bothers me the most is some of the chemicals used in fracking are known carcinogens that can and do escape into the ecosystem.

Deep water drilling is safe also until you get some greedy operators who cut corners. Then its too late isn't it?

Guys,

I know this is probably a waste of time but I suggest you go and find presentations given by Dr. Anthony Ingraffea. He was a pioneer in fracking technology, and helped to develop it. I think you get a different perspective on fracking. Don't let the industry dupe you into thinking that this process is completely safe, there is a reason the gas companies were exempted from the clean air act and safe drinking water act.

Ok_shooter,

Well have not been fracked by this technology for over 60 years, the first well fracked using combined technologies was in 2004. This is a myth that the industry is telling people so they won't question the practice. Do the research you will find that the technologies used to frack modern wells weren't even ready until 2000.

Toolmaker251,

Just because you grew up amongst a lot of stuff that killed other people doesn't mean the danger doesn't exist. A lot of people smoked for years and didn't die from it but a lot of people did. A lot of people were exposed to Asbestos that didn't die but a lot of people did, we were also told it was safe! You might already have damaged health because of swimming in polluted waters and breathing exhaust fumes, it just hasn't popped up yet. My uncle worked for the railroad for his entire life and he was exposed to a lot chemicals. His health was fine until he turned 67, now he is ate up with skin cancer, he has to go every other month for treatments. White patches pop up all over his body and he has to get them burned off.

Parkerguy,

I know they spend a lot of money promoting fracking, which makes sense it's there livlehood! I'm sure they are not going to show any video of where something went wrong and well water was contaminated, or the woman in Ohio who almost die becaused she was exposed to Benzene! They also don't show video on how they bully land owners and send threatning letters to them. Or how they illegally dispose of fracking water!

I'll second kgun shooter's suggestion about the presentations given by Dr. Ingraffea. His point is that fracking is an engineering undertaking just like building a bridge. If your bridge design fails too frequently, you are not permitted to continue building bridges. If the aircraft you designed and built crashes too frequently, you are not permitted to keep doing it. Fracking is no where near the acceptable mean time between failures for most engineering projects.

The actual fracking takes place 8000 feet or so underground, well below the aquifer. One of the main issues is the cement job in the well casing. Another is the way the 'produced water' is handled. The industry decides when water coming up from the well after the fracking process stops being fracking fluid (the chemical cocktail used to break the rock and hold the cracks open) and is now considered produced water. Produced water can we sprayed into the air, dumped on roads, etc to get rid of it. An industry regulating itself with little or no oversight is a little scary to me.

Please read and then try this:

apostrophe (')

comma(,)

........................................

Apostrophe:

Rule 1:

Use the apostrophe with contractions. The apostrophe is always placed at the spot where the letter(s) has been removed.

Examples:

don't, isn't

You're right.

She's a great teacher.

Rule 2:

Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.

Examples:

one boy's hat

one woman's hat

one actress's hat

one child's hat

Ms. Chang's house

NOTE:

Although names ending in s or an s sound are not required to have the second s added in possessive form, it is preferred.

Mr. Jones's golf clubs

Texas's weather

Ms. Straus's daughter

Jose Sanchez's artwork

Dr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)

Mrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)

Rule 3:

Use the apostrophe where the noun that should follow is implied.

Example:

This was his father's, not his, jacket.

Rule 4:

To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.

Examples:

two boys' hats

two women's hats

two actresses' hats

two children's hats

the Changs' house

the Joneses' golf clubs

the Strauses' daughter

the Sanchezes' artwork

the Hastingses' appointment

the Leeses' books

Rule 5:

Do not use an apostrophe for the plural of a name.

Examples:

We visited the Sanchezes in Los Angeles.

The Changs have two cats and a dog.

Rule 6:

With a singular compound noun, show possession with 's at the end of the word.

Example:

my mother-in-law's hat

Rule 7:

If the compound noun is plural, form the plural first and then use the apostrophe.

Example:

my two brothers-in-law's hats

Rule 8:

Use the apostrophe and s after the second name only if two people possess the same item.

Examples:

Cesar and Maribel's home is constructed of redwood.

Cesar's and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. Indicates separate ownership.

Cesar and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. Indicates joint ownership of more than one contract.

Rule 9:

Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, theirs, ours, yours, whose. They already show possession so they do not require an apostrophe.

Examples:

Correct:

This book is hers, not yours.

Incorrect:

Sincerely your's.

Rule 10:

The only time an apostrophe is used for it's is when it is a contraction for it is or it has.

Examples:

It's a nice day.

It's your right to refuse the invitation.

It's been great getting to know you.

Rule 11:

The plurals for capital letters and numbers used as nouns are not formed with apostrophes.

Examples:

She consulted with three M.D.s. BUT She went to three M.D.s' offices. The apostrophe is needed here to show plural possessive.

She learned her ABCs.

the 1990s not the 1990's

the '90s or the mid-'70s not the '90's or the mid-'70's

She learned her times tables for 6s and 7s.

Exception:

Use apostrophes with capital letters and numbers when the meaning would be unclear otherwise.

Examples:

Please dot your i's.

You don't mean is.

Ted couldn't distinguish between his 6's and 0's.

You need to use the apostrophe to indicate the plural of zero or it will look like the word Os. To be consistent within a sentence, you would also use the apostrophe to indicate the plural of 6's.

Rule 12:

Use the possessive case in front of a gerund (-ing word).

Examples:

Alex's skating was a joy to behold.

This does not stop Joan's inspecting of our facilities next Thursday.

Rule 13:

If the gerund has a pronoun in front of it, use the possessive form of that pronoun.

Examples:

I appreciate your inviting me to dinner.

I appreciated his working with me to resolve the conflict.

.....................................

Comma

Rule 1:

To avoid confusion, use commas to separate words and word groups with a series of three or more.

Example:

My $10 million estate is to be split among my husband, daughter, son, and nephew. Omitting the comma after son would indicate that the son and nephew would have to split one-third of the estate.

Rule 2:

Use a comma to separate two adjectives when the word and can be inserted between them.

Examples:

He is a strong, healthy man.

We stayed at an expensive summer resort. You would not say expensive and summer resort, so no comma.

Rule 3:

Use a comma when an -ly adjective is used with other adjectives.

NOTE:

To test whether an -ly word is an adjective, see if it can be used alone with the noun. If it can, use the comma.

Examples:

Felix was a lonely, young boy.

I get headaches in brightly lit rooms. Brightly is not an adjective because it cannot be used alone with rooms; therefore, no comma is used between brightly and lit.

Rule 4:

Use commas before or surrounding the name or title of a person directly addressed.

Examples:

Will you, Aisha, do that assignment for me?

Yes, Doctor, I will.

NOTE:

Capitalize a title when directly addressing someone.

Rule 5a:

Use a comma to separate the day of the month from the year and after the year.

Example:

Kathleen met her husband on December 5, 2003, in Mill Valley, California.

Rule 5b:

If any part of the date is omitted, leave out the comma.

Example:

They met in December 2003 in Mill Valley.

Rule 6:

Use a comma to separate the city from the state and after the state in a document. If you use the two-letter capitalized form of a state in a document, you do not need a comma after the state.

NOTE:

With addresses on envelopes mailed via the post office, do not use any punctuation.

Example:

I lived in San Francisco, California, for 20 years.

I lived in San Francisco, CA for 20 years.

Rule 7:

Use commas to surround degrees or titles used with names. Commas are no longer required around Jr. and Sr. Commas never set off II, III, and so forth.

Example:

Al Mooney, M.D., knew Sam Sunny Jr. and Charles Starr III.

Rule 8:

Use commas to set off expressions that interrupt sentence flow.

Example:

I am, as you have probably noticed, very nervous about this.

Rule 9:

When starting a sentence with a weak clause, use a comma after it. Conversely, do not use a comma when the sentence starts with a strong clause followed by a weak clause.

Example:

If you are not sure about this, let me know now.

Let me know now if you are not sure about this.

Rule 10:

Use a comma after phrases of more than three words that begin a sentence. If the phrase has fewer than three words, the comma is optional.

Example:

To apply for this job, you must have previous experience.

On February 14 many couples give each other candy or flowers.

OR

On February 14, many couples give each other candy or flowers.

Rule 11:

If something or someone is sufficiently identified, the description following it is considered nonessential and should be surrounded by commas.

Example:

Freddy, who has a limp, was in an auto accident. Freddy is named, so the description is not essential.

The boy who has a limp was in an auto accident. We do not know which boy is being referred to without further description; therefore, no commas are used.

Rule 12:

Use a comma to separate two strong clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction–and, or, but, for, nor. You can omit the comma if the clauses are both short.

Example:

I have painted the entire house, but he is still working on sanding the doors.

I paint and he writes.

Rule 13:

Use the comma to separate two sentences if it will help avoid confusion.

Example:

I chose the colors red and green, and blue was his first choice.

Rule 14:

A comma splice is an error caused by joining two strong clauses with only a comma instead of separating the clauses with a conjunction, a semicolon, or a period. A run-on sentence, which is incorrect, is created by joining two strong clauses without any punctuation.

Incorrect

Time flies when we are having fun, we are always having fun. (Comma splice)

Time flies when we are having fun we are always having fun. (Run-on sentence)

Correct

Time flies when we are having fun; we are always having fun.

OR

Time flies when we are having fun, and we are always having fun. (Comma is optional because both strong clauses are short.)

OR

Time flies when we are having fun. We are always having fun.

Rule 15:

If the subject does not appear in front of the second verb, do not use a comma.

Example:

He thought quickly but still did not answer correctly.

Rule 16:

Use commas to introduce or interrupt direct quotations shorter than three lines.

Examples:

He actually said, "I do not care."

"Why," I asked, "do you always forget to do it?"

Rule 17:

Use a comma to separate a statement from a question.

Example:

I can go, can't I?

Rule 18:

Use a comma to separate contrasting parts of a sentence.

Example:

That is my money, not yours.

Rule 19:

Use a comma when beginning sentences with introductory words such as well, now, or yes.

Example:

Yes, I do need that report.

Well, I never thought I'd live to see the day…

Rule 20:

Use commas surrounding words such as therefore and however when they are used as interrupters.

Example:

I would, therefore, like a response.

I would be happy, however, to volunteer for the Red Cross.

Rule 21:

Use either a comma or a semicolon before introductory words such as namely, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., or for instance when they are followed by a series of items. Use a comma after the introductory word.

Example:

You may be required to bring many items, e.g., sleeping bags, pans, and warm clothing.

My post was neither a joke nor an attempt to make fun of you or anyone else. It was an attempt to educate you on the proper use of the Apostrophe and Comma. You fail to see that your poor use of punctuation and poor spelling loses the point you are trying to make. That sir is a real fact.

An education is a terrible thing to waste.

Copper, in the past 125 years 10's of thousands of oil and gas wells have been drilled in Pennsylvania. This state is the birth place of oil well drilling, how come the whole state is not polluted? One of the biggest oil spills was in the Arabian golf and after 4 years there wasn't a trace of any spill. Nature takes care of itself, stop worrying about drinking a little methane with your water.

Copper: you need to get yourself educated...and i don't mean this in an insulting or underhanded slight. I have been going to to public forums in Pa. & Oh. since 2010...about the time the landmen started showing up in decent numbers making offers well above the going rate. The majority of the meetings time was taken up dealing with FUD (fear - uncertainty & doubt)...the same emotion you want your enemy to experience when they think of you. Basic human emotions when dealing with the unknown. Remember Chicken Little? Well, the sky isn't falling....however...large reserves of hydrocarbons are being discovered and .....assuming we the people keep our fingers (while engaging our brains)on our elected officials (minimum lease standards...a fracking energy policy that is reasonable....and an EPA/DEP who actually do their job and get in front of or at least paralell to the industry) we are gonna be alright.

However, unsubstanciated BULLSHAT like you opened with only stirs FUD in the large portion of people who won't or are not willing to take the time to use reason and research to find where the truths lie.

You will not find (1) substanciated incedent where fracking (vertical or horizontal) has damaged/tainted or otherwise entered the aquafer.

You will find evidence of shoddy cement jobs, job site spills, frack ponds emitting bad/harmfull odors...etc. It is the govts. job to regulate and oversee the process. They haven't always been on top of things. I think they are trying to catch up.

Contact your local legislater and ask him/her to bring you up to speed on what they are doing to promote the hydrocarbon industry while protecting landowners mineral rights and the environment.

Where's the spelchek funktgion?

Among copper's other false and silly claims is the claim that "some states have banded (the misspelling was his, not mine) fracking. Fracking is safe when done properly but the biggest problem with it is that it uses huge amounts of water, water that some places don't have to spare. Perhaps is the gentleman and his fellow liberal goobers got their heads out of the Daily Kos's orifice, they could actually get the facts and learn something.

I believe the people crying about fracking as much as I believe the ones crying about transporting more coal through Oregon via train. They're claiming the coal dust causes derailments, will turn the area by the tracks into a fog bank of coal dust, and that there will be so many coal trains that regular trains carrying food and goods will be curtailed and we won't be able to get food or supplies.

I am totally fed up with the greenies. I hope they venture into the woods and the wolves and cougars eat them.

Tinman: Who is tasked with regulating/overseeing industy?

When accidents like what occurred in the Gulf happen...read up on what role our govt. (paid) supervision played in that.

Tinman...go ask your local elected official (state level)why the DEP allowed the industry to use frak ponds in our humid and populated environment? They work fine in the arid sw & west)...Go to a contemporary deep shale well site and you will not find a frak pond..it's all selfcontained...the industry is very sensative to public reaction. I am in no way shifting blame from the industry operators who mess things up...however..we elect and should expect some basic competence from elected officials....ask yourself why Pa. allowed brine and flowback to be taken to muni water treatment plants to be diluted then dumped into the rivers (this practice has since been shut down).

Copper: there is light on the fracking horizon. However, it will come at some expense.

Consider these facts: * the average deep shale well requires between 3MM-8Mm gallon of water for a frac job - solution = (~95.5% water / 4% sand /.5% other) *10-20% of those fracking fluids will come back to surface within 1-2 wks from fracking. The average tanker can haul ~4000 gal at a time. *the well will continue to produce brine. *Do the math on how many truck trips it takes just to service 1 well bringing and taking out the water/flowback/brine...not to mention the mud/cuttings.

Where i am going with this is that "water" fracking creates alot of jobs for the trucking/landfill/injection and related industries. And these are good paying jobs.

There is new technology being used for fracking (couple of years old) that is being used in Canada, Texas & ohio..maybe more...and is being introduced in upstate new york to get around the "no drill" moritorium.

It uses compressed propane (turns it into a gel..introduce sand) and use as the fracking agent. Once the pressure is reduced the gel reverts back to a gasous state and is either recaptured at the well head or sent to the pipeline. The beauty of this process is that there is NO water used, no water to deal with after fracking and no spills to worry about. This process takes the pork off the plate of the bulk of the environmental worries.

Now..before an industry player hit me over the head for playing fast & loose with facts....this is a laymans version for brief explanation only.

Google GASFRAC...do your research.

according to the laws of Japan, the extensive areas over Tohoku and Kanto, which measures the radiation level of 40.000 Bq/m2, should be designated as radiation controlled area and the people should evacuate.

The government decided the extensive land couldn’t be given up, therefore abandoned the people there. These people have no option but evacuating home if they want to protect themselves from radiation, however, the government intends not to pay any compensation.

[...]

Due to the fallout from Fukushima, in the extensive area covering Tohoku and Kanto, the levels of cesium radiation exceed the standard of radiation controlled area (40.000 Bq/m2). The government are aware they abandoned the people in the contaminated areas.

[...] Off topic again, but I make the point...

Some of the if not all the chemicals mix with water ,and not like oil it can not be remove from the water. I can find nothing that said other wise and is said to be in holding lined ponds that seems crazy. What I have read said the water is toxic FOR EVER . YES APrice time for you to go home. The subject matter way over you head. Go look for the dumb joke thread you will be king. You can spell jokes all day long You will be home for sure, If not rest of the fan club can help .

Frack ponds are no longer being used (eastern ohio & western Pa.).

There are several competing technologies for the handling of flowback; one solution is to mix the flowback with an absorbant and bury in a landfill, the other..which emerged recently...is to use a centrifuge to wring the water out (which is then run thru filters and re-used while the remaining large particulate matter is disposed of in a landfill.

I will dredge up some links that discuss this issue and how produced waters from fracking are going to be and are currently being handled. This issue has become a major topic among the hydro engineers in the industry.

I am going to start a new topic (The Whole Fracking Deal)...it's getting to long to scroll down.

Appears that fracking is exempt from The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, due to the "Halliburton loophole" pushed through by former Vice-President/former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney, exempting corporations from revealing the chemicals used in fracking fluid.

Congressional investigators say millions of gallons of diesel fuel has been used as fracking fluid,illegally. Only takes a quick search to find this.

These are a few that are know to be health issues. And they admit there have been leaks in a few states ware got in water.

Tool maker as I say this fracking is way different than past oil drilling as to chemicals used to make the slick water, These are just a few listed . They don,t dispute the list or the fact that there has been problems getting in drinking water. The push for a better way they have some options . There are countries that could use the money but have band it because of the risk. Again I am not against Fracking ,but unless there is a safe way I don,t want near my water . Some of the chemicals are said to bond with water and can,t be remove, again in past a lot of the heavy metals can be removed so to speak. Well yes I was aware ' I did not want to get into the Radon deal, there some issue as to what is natural and the amount that is drawn out by fracking from way down in the earth .

Well most all our information comes from the world wide web, Now I do realize the information can be slanted either way , as you said the water was at one point dumped into river after being run through a plant, question would they have stopped on there own. I do see the system as a disaster waiting to happen , cement casing bound to crack at some point, earth quakes shifts in era,s that have been mined and shift 5 to 8 million gallons of water each well that your info . I am in SW PA, Wells all around me so I am concern. My understanding is the EPA said any law suits involving contaminated wells that have been setteled the records are sealed is this not true. 65% of water comes back to surface so each well so around 3 to 6 million gallons toxic water. How many wells , so tell me why I should not be concerned .Well we will never run out of hot air or Gas with John Galt on here yet again no information.

It is used to make a "fracking coctail" and I would bet they don't pay $4/gal. Haliburton paying $4 for diesel, ha. Did you even bother to do a search?
