    Since when did gas drilling hazards need exposing? I've always known it was dangerous. I'm glad there are people willing to get that stuff out of the ground so I can boil water.
    You have to remember. Today's schools don't teach as they once did. A high school diploma today isn't worth your 8th grade education.

    What did they teach you about modern gas drilling in grade school?

    They didn't. They did teach common sense rather than indoctrination however.

    I wouldn't watch an HBO do entary if you put a gun to my head. MSNBC with a few movies tossed in and some really good entertainment programming, ( sopranos et al ) but their political stuff is pure crap. Propaganda.
    Examples, please?

    I don't pay for extra things like HBO, so I'm completely in the dark about what you're referring to.

    So what do current teachers indoctrinate about the safety of gas extraction today?

    Give examples.

    Why are you such a fool. Common sense is not about any single subject.

    Why do you think people are stupid enough to fall for your pathetic tricks?

    So your saying that no one has ever taught anything about gas extraction, past or present.

    Why do you think people are stupid enough to fall for your propaganda?

    Why do you keep asking such idiotic questions?

    Because the people I ask get butthurt like you are now.

    Had you produced any evidence that schools are indoctrinating kids to think that natural gas extraction is in no way dangerous, you might have been onto something. It's not my fault your propaganda falls part under the slightest scrutiny.

    Earthquake in Toronto

    What areas of the us are prone to earthquakes?

    ...Plate boundary quakes created many mountain ranges in the United States, including the Wasatch Range in Utah. Earthquakes continue to occur every 350 years along the Wasatch fault.

    A movement within the plates can also trigger an earthquake. These movements amass stress deep within the plate and at the edges of the plate, creating weak zones that trigger the occurrence of a trembler. Earthquakes of this type are typical for intercontinental areas. Movement within the North American Plate was responsible for a massive quake in 1812 that leveled the city of New Madrid, Missouri and affected six states in the Mississippi River Valley, including Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, and Tennessee. The effects of the New Madrid quake were felt in states as far as Virginia and Massachusetts. The Charleston quake of 1886 is another example. Sixty people died in the one-minute trembler that affected a 120-mile radius.


    Earthquakes are sure to occur where there is a fault. Faults result in the displacement of rocks in the Earth’s crust. Three types of faults exist. Normal faults result in the displacement of young rocks over older rocks. Examples include the Death Valley Fault in California, the Sevier Fault in Utah, and the Conjugate Normal Fault in Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah. Reverse thrust faults occur when older rocks displace younger rocks. Examples of reverse thrust faults include the Lewis and Fold Thrusts in Montana. A third fault type, called the strike-slip fault, occurs in areas where there is side-by-side displacement of the rocks. Las Vegas, Nevada and Coos Bay in Oregon experience strike-slip faults. The San Andreas Fault in California also exhibits strike-slip motion, and quakes may occur every 50 to 200 years along segments of this particular fault...
    going back to the possibility of a shift in the earths crust shifting the nasty chemicals used in fracking into water supplies...

    So what would you do if they started injecting nasty chemicals underground and drilling for natural gas in your area, then suddenly your water was contaminated with chemicals and/or methane?

    Serious, honest question.

    Well, you'll have to be specific on what are the "nasty chemicals," but, I imagine, I'd work to halt the practice and join any suits brought to cause the offending company to make us whole again.

    Now, for a real life incident...

    MTBE

    Difference being, MTBEs were an oxygenate mandated by the EPA in gasoline. Try suing the government and getting redress, eh? The other big difference is once MTBEs are in your water supply, they're in your water supply...last I heard, there was no way to filter it back out.

    I specifically linked the EPA description of MTBE because, well, they fail to mention why MTBEs are a problem to begin with...it's because they mandated them in one of their hair-brained emissions standards.

    Bad comparison. There's a world of difference in trying to sue the EPA vs. suing, say, Chesapeake Energy.
    The MTBE fiasco was one for the record books tho. Google Ed Wallace MTBE and sit down for some good reading on the subject.

    One of the nastier components showing up in our water supply, locally, is benzine.
