Shale Oil/Gas Drilling Video

[Bubba]

This is an interesting video that explains how horizontal drilling and hydraulic "fracking" are now being used to produce previously unrecoverable reserves. As a result of shale gas plays in the northeast, Texas, Louisiana and elsewhere, we're now swimming in natural gas.

If we are swimming in natural gas, then why haven't my bills for the product been reduced?

How about some technology that plugs up that oil leak in the gulf?

+1. So much technology and they can't figure out how to stop the Golf of Texaco oil leak.
Stop raping mother earth!

Call Keyspan and ask them why the market price of natural gas has dropped by 50% or more over the past two years but your price hasn't come down.

Stop swimming in it and your bills should go down.

Reading up a bit on it, it seems the actual leak is some 5000 FEET below the surface. They need a Rogman vessel to get down there and plant the charge to shut it down. You would think there would be a series of valves to prevent just this type of thing.

Speaking of Rogman....Maybe down the Gulf coast as we speak eating Crawfish.

it's great if you don't give a frack about the environment of your drinking water.

Stop driving your car, turn off the lights and move South so you don't have to heat our home! Cooking can be done on a fire outside.

Watch this Dr. Dumbass. You'll be thrilled. You can cook with the flammable water coming out of your faucet.
