Fracking is a huge environmental and human threat. Why does Obama support it?

79. Except you do...

No offense, but I lived and worked in the Jonah and on the Anticline and some time in Vernal too. I AM a scientist published in a few peer-reviewed journals but I prefer to keep by boots on the ground because that is what I enjoy. I have also worked with
Susan Chaki the head of CDPHE for more than a few years. She is a tough cookie and a solid scientist as well. Yet you say her opinion is trumped by an academic from Cornell.

In addition, most drillers are hard core engineers or geologist and highly skilled and educated. If you have ever seen a blowout, watch when Boots N Coots arrive. These guys are like the fucking cavalry.

If I say Chinese steel is a problem, you can bet your ass its a fucking problem. I don't mince words and I don't bullshit. Since you do not seem to understand, let me explain something. Fracking usually occurs way down deep, thousands of feet below the aquifer. Most of the time, in confined aquifers. The only way groundwater (which is typically in the first 400 feet) can get impacted is from a breach in the system.

If you ever watch the movie GasLand, you will see how this happens. It is NOT fracking that causes the guy's water to light on fire. It is an improper seal in the annulus of the well that allows methane to percolate through his fresh water aquifer.
