Jack, 90% of the post in this thread have nothing to do with fracking in St. Tam. You need to proceed with a neutral attitude. It is plain to see you are against it. If you are not for or against how can you be objective.
You along with most everyone else will grab one or two phrases out of a...
Zero. And just to add to my little story, the county was paving the road that leads to the rig. We worked around their schedule. They worked from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. We hauled our loads in during the night. We also watered two other county roads to keep the dust down during the day because of...
I have a few questions.
Who's backyard will this fracking operation take place?
I asked this before, but I want to be clear. What are your concerns about this frack job? Specifically.
Is the concern the drilling or the fracking?
To answer Speed, yes there are dangers. Things can go...
I can understand that Hitman. What creates the fears or misunderstandings are the exact news and it internet links that people keep posting. But in the big picture St. T is no different than any other place.
My final words on this subject will be this.
If I had a water well as my source of...
"Oil and gas operations"
What does this mean to you?
It's a very broad statement. Does it mean drilling, fracking, production or trucking?
Prostitution? Seriously? Ok if y'all say so. Well I'm convinced, I'm quitting my job and will become a priest and battle fracking because it is the worst...
Have you been to a truck stop and seen the diesel spillage?
Do you notice in that report how it never really says where the benzene or ozone is coming from?
I can tell you it's not from fracking. But I doubt u will believe me.
If the headline if that report was "exhaust fumes from...
Good point Jack. And I am just assuming you are over 20, if I am right then those wells and houses have been in existence for at least that long. The industry and the people are still thriving, the people were brought there by the oil industry. They came to work, saw they could make a good...
I can see what you are saying, but again, oil companies buy water from a company that sets up a contract with a source of water. That source can be anyone or a town / city source.
I am not taking anything personally. I don't work in Louisiana, I just live here. I cannot vouch for any company...
I hope not. But if they are, here is a news flash. Oil companies do not own water hauling companies. So if that is happening it's whatever water company that is being used in that areas fault. But I highly doubt that is happening. Unless people up there have ponds right next to roads that would...
Oil companies will find water from sources they can use. But the way your statement reads is they will find whatever water from whatever source. Meaning it could be "bad" water??, I'm asking what you mean.
Oil companies want to use "good" water for fracking. They don't want just any water in...
Paddle you are on the right track. But don't confuse fractures with porosity / permeability. There are fractures down deep in the earth but they are not counted on to flow a well. The porosity and permeability of the shale is. If they are not enough to flow a well that is why and when fracking...
Here's a question you should ask the St. Tam parish council. "Why are y'all raising all the fuss against fracking"?
Guess who gets greased if they pitch a bitch. That's right, the same sumbitch that is raising all the hell.
Here's the first fail, later on in the same article she is saying there is not enough monitoring of emissions
The findings by Rachael Rawlins, faculty member in the UT Community and Regional Planning Program in the School of Architecture, were recently published in the Virginia Environmental Law...
