    I say let them Frack but here are the requirements......All corporate executives and their family must take permanent residence where they frack.
    Wanna bet fracking all of a sudden becomes not such a good idea after all.

    Please. In my hometown of Peters Township near Pittsburgh PA, over 70% of us voted to allow fracking companies to drill in our town. It is bringing in businesses and jobs into our region. So far, after 2 years no pollution to our community what so ever. Yes as seen in this video, fracking accidents do happen when a company is ignorant and they should be condemned. But for the most part, natural gas drilling has brought nothing but good to my community.

    Why would you criticize a news channel trying to protect you when your own news won't?

    Oil i far more valuable because its 'cheap' oil. Not because it costs less, but because it gives you a lot of energy back, considering the energy you put in to getting it. Alberta Canada and the US have the massive reserves of Oil Shale, but crude Oil still trumps it because it gives you shed loads more energy. This is why the US is still dependent on foreign oil, and why other oils won't replace crude.
    Its called EROI, (Energy return on investment)

    I've read articles, watched both pro and anti-fracking vids. It's a real dilemma. The risks you stated are real and we are gambling with them. But this new energy pulled us out of the recession and is reducing our deficits. We're stuck with it now. Stronger regulations are the best we can hope for. I know folks from my home state of MN, who went to work in ND and saved themselves from bankruptcy. Life is more important than money, but tell that to a desperate, unemployed person.

    Read E.F. Schmauchers a guide for the Perplexed, then a book written by modernist economists on representational democracy and capitalism. Then read polemics and literary critiques of democracy during the New deal era. After that read some post-modern 90's literature on liberal democracy.

    After that interview with Scott Perry I would have brought him a cup of water from the woodlands and asked him to drink it if he was so sure the water wasn't contaminated.

    Apathy and evil. The two work hand in hand. They are the same, really.... Evil wills it. Apathy allows it. Evil hates the innocent and the defenseless most of all. Apathy doesn't care as long as it's not personally inconvenienced. -JAKE THOENE, Shaiton's Fire

    I never said I was an expert. Neither are you. I'm just saying what I know for a fact. The reports are isolated, and those that have been affect SHOULD be compensated. But, more good has come out of this than bad and other states should not get in the affairs of Pennsylvania.

    How come AlJazeerra never does news reports about the inequality and abuse against women in Saudi Arabia?

  • @RockinCowgirl1000
    @RockinCowgirl1000 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's safe when everything is done right but accidents DO happen. There needs to be some compensation for those people who are hurt when things go wrong. We're not going to ban fracking now that it's widely used in this country. Like you said, even Obama backs it. The biggest problems seem to come out of PA, probably from lack of regulation there. I can't believe they don't tax their gas. ND taxes their oil and they've got a budget surplus from it..

    Why AlJazeera blocks comments and likes in some kinda of videos? Like the one of the bus explosion, are you trying to put out news and people cant even questioning?

    Digging up fossilized plants & burning it...I wouldn't really call that a 19th century practice, but a 20th century one. However, we are of course now in the 21st, and it is indeed time to move on.
    Wind, solar, & nuclear fusion research all the way! Maybe even conventional nuclear fission if we can learn to build the reactors more safely (as with Pebble-Bed Reactors, or Thorium Reactors).

  • @mphailey
    @mphailey 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If not coal or fracked natgas then what should be our energy source? Only realistic option if not those two is uranium -- which everyone hates and is prone to black swans. Solar and wind cannot be baseload power. Geothermal energy is wonderful but capitalize intensive and lacking in intellectual capital currently (NEVADA GEO POWER). Energy is a great challenge for civilization.

    Ok, so whats the point of disable ''likes'' of the video, and just for your information, they do this in a lot of videos, and they are here to bring the news, not to see if there's some trolls in the channel, and who talked about ''CONSPIRACY'', I just asked a question... lol

    Another frack video that does not show a single frack site. Just wells and drilling. Sounds like poor drilling and failures of casing. Wells are fracked after they are drilled, it is the last step in the process.
