Lots of folks here PRETEND to have a clue about this but it's really just something they made up in their minds to satisfy their irrational need to stay within their fantasy world.

maybe thay can explain how something that is happening MILES below the water table has anything to do with the water table.
Maybe they can explain exactly what their concerns are without making up BS fantasy crap or quoting some ridiculous tree-hugger wacko blob who had already done the making up BS for them to save them a step.
naw, that's asking too much. They'd have to learn about the process first.


Here's a clue for ya, we've been fracturing deep subsurface rock to release crude oil for nearly a century. Doing the exact same thing but for natural gas is even safer and easier.

Oh and here's the good part: Up near the bay area where we keep most of our tree-huggers, they do fracture recovery for crude right under their noses and have been for decades and the tree huggers prolly didn't even know it! Chevron has massive fields up there.

In the Kern area the US gubmint used that technique for as long as I can remember in the US naval oil recerve, which was leased off to private companies in the late 90's IIRC. They even use steam and/or boiling water to free up the oil. (google elk hills).

They do it all over. Under Long beach, off shore, under Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, San Juaquin valley, San Jose, etc.
Anywhere there's oil they use that technique.
It is nothing new, it's just something the tree huggers are trying to make SOUND new to scare people with their irrational, untrue sensationalism.

No group I can think of in modern history has been more dishonest or sleazy in ther techniques, or has rationalized whatever it takes, their ends justify any means necessary.
And the ignorant sheeple line up to jump on their bandwagon without doing any research whatsoever. They find it much easier and simpler just to jerk their knees than to actually learn enough about a subject to make an informed judgement.
