They often use orphaned wells for the fracking. The technology has proven safe time, and time again. If we don't use these hydrocarbons, what do we use?? Windmills, ethanol and solar have all proven to fail. Maybe in 20 years, these alternatives will be viable, but until then, we need hydrocarbons. Not only is this practical, but it takes us further from control by the Middle East. Get the facts before you talk. Randal,

Get the facts. They often use orphaned wells for the
fracking. The technology has proven safe time, and time again. If we don’t use these hydrocarbons, what do
we use?? Windmills, ethanol and solar have all proven to
fail. Maybe in 20 years, these alternatives will be viable,
but until then, we need hydrocarbons. Not only is this
practical, but it takes us further from control by the
Middle East. Get the facts before you talk.

By the day we see more and more damage and illness. If we continue on this path the damage will be far too bad, if not already. Once the land, air, and water are poisoned the only thing left is evacuation. We, just like the rest of nature, are not going to live in harmony with these contaminants in our environment. We must educate and open eyes, we have to tell the truth when they spread propoganda. Recently I have concerns about the Marcellus gas being produced and therefor sent to storage. I can only wonder what happens and what contaminants will travel and spread. Not to mention, where are these storage fields located. I know they change wellheads but what about below ground where pressures/contaminents will be. This could be disaster in the making. I have yet to see any real effort to plug orphan wells that could potentially be in the radius of fracking. This is of great concern. Needless to say, no permits should be handed out until these issues are resolved, if at all.

Hunting, fishing, farming, forestry, recreation, retirement, scenic drives. All fracked up. After fifteen or twenty years of production and then what? We need fusion power. It's a matter of misdirected investment. We will have it eventually, maybe after China gets it first. Oh, by the way. The weight of plastic in the oceans now is six times the weight of its plankton.
