How is high volume, high pressure horizontal (EXTENSIVE bore coverage) hydraulic fracturing, NOT "Long term waste disposal" - and on an inconceivably massive scale?

 

Or are persistent and cumulative carcinogens not "hazardous waste?"

Water is injected for three days, flow back water is then removed and either recycled or disposed of in true injection wells. Shale contains toxics much worse than anything that is injected and has been there for 250 million years.

This guys lack of knowledge on this subject alone should be enough to discredit him to any reader here.

I love how these people always have to throw in words like "toxic" or "carcinogen". They can never allow what they say to stand on it's own merit, they always have use the scare tactic.

I can't magically make a carcinogenic chemical into harmless toothpaste, I leave that to the professionals.

And yes, I understand how it;s done,

You just divert attention from a shitload of zeros on the TOTAL QUANTITIES USED.

The air you breathe anywhere on this planet has zillions of toxins and carcinogens - just "divert attention from a shitload of zeros" and I can state that as TRUTH my good sir!  What planet are you from?

Rationalizing constant amounts of daily pollution to what goes on with HVHF has no merit .concentrations  are much higher than ambient air pollution quantities in the extraction of NG using the process.

and should have been left there as Nature intended.

FAR more than "water is injected,"

and by public admission - firsthand, and twice repeated, to me in presence of the Pennsboro City Council in session (thus minutes were taken and reported in the Pennsboro news AND Ritchie Gazette; Antero Resources' Kevin Ellis and his Engineer, and his Geologist, there present, asserted that "90% of the injected frac fluid stays and is left under the ground."

"Flowback water is 10%."

This was in response to, and by correction of, my lowball assumption that 80% stayed down there.

Can you explain to me what the intent of nature is?

It is whatever Rodney says it is!

He is simply a communist troll.

The Halliburton loophole is a myth, an urban legend.

Ah  Change the subject when you're caught outright lying.

Lots of practice I see.

Just no materials to work with.
