As much as I post in the politics thread this is an issue I am deeply involved in this issue. The amount of money and interest in drilling into the New York City watershed is now unbelievable. I live in this city. I love this city. One of the best things about this city is it's water, which is fed by one of the greatest and cleanest watersheds on the planet.
And these greedy fucking companies are willing to put at stake the health and lives of one of the worlds greatest cities for their own financial gain.
This is the only issue I hound my relatives about. Its amazing what a fantastic job these companies do in making sure none of the information of what they're going to do with the New York watershed gets out until things are already a done deal.
How am I not surprised that a douchebag like JazX is willing to sell out the environment and the future for a few sheckels. Glad your getting your giant 2.5k monthly payoff, and fuck you. My god, if I hated you before, I hate you with an actual reason now, other than you're a poltiical retard. Now you're a short-sighted, greedy fuckign douchebag.

Fucking drinking water catching on fire? Everyone needs to write a letter to their congressman and women.
I thought I saw it all.

Jazx how can you live with so many contradictions in your mind,
I quote:
"Fracking can be an extremely ugly process and I'm not one for polluting people's drinking water.""I own a load of land and receive 2.5K per month from a local gas company in PA! And, for the next 17 years."
"With that being said, it changes my tune on fracking."
" LOL!"
I've no clue what is your point once again, your the perfect example of
"Get rich or die trying"

In 2005 the Bush & Cheney Regime exempted the Natural Gas Industry from the Safe Drinking Water Act, God Bless America.
Drill Baby Drill!
- how can we get this repealed ?
Definitely NOT wishing Cheney all the best in hospital.mikotondria3

holy cow; the end of that trailer is insane.
as long as corporations have lobbyists, and as long as corporations continue to be able to donate campaign funds... this will continue.

watching this now on HBO.... whoa.
this is going on all over my area. 5 drill sites i can think of off the top of my head in a 4mile radius.

how can I not believe when I see this kind of shit,
that we're meant to destroy ourselves so we can go back to zero and try again,
aren't we supposed to be so fuckn smart and so fuckn advanced, but all we're really doing is raping the shit out of this planet.sadly there are some corporations name that keeps coming back again and again, I wasn't even impressed to see that it was Halliburton that invented this technic of drilling, they seem to be involved in all the events detrimental for our specie.
its ok though, the arch is ready, someone just need to press the reset button.

it's incredible that we've made such technological progress for the last 200 years, however, we still haven't managed to improve the ways in which we harvest energy. Regretfully, shit like this will keep on going on since the energy companies have a stranglehold on the corrupt gov't bureaucrats.

seriously though, there'd be no way you could raise kids in that environment with that happening to the water supply. it's like guaranteed cancer not to mention other health problems, no freakin' way.

wow, that last part, holy shit.

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling. Once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and proprietary chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and props open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well.
