The authors conclude, " Unfortunately, there is no defined setback distance that assures safety" - and a few hundred feet between a home & well pad is further proof of the depraved indifference and recklessness that the Oil & Gas Industry, captured regulators and elected 'industry whores' demonstrate towards the American People. Adequacy of Current State Setbacks for Directional High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing in the Marcellus, Barnett, and Niobrara Shale Plays Marsha … [Read more...]

Spill Baby Spill ! Kill Baby Kill ! – 2014 Fraccidents & Frackastrophes
We ended the first installment of "Spill Baby Spill the Year in Frackastophes" way back in May. It's been a big year for Fraccidents and Frackastrophes since then, and Fractavist Extraordinaire Richard Averett has brought the list up to date, one fracking mess at a time. Fracking has become America’s deadliest form of energy, a bigger body count in a month than coal in a year. Fracking produces more radioactive HAZMAT material in a few days than the US nuclear industry does in a … [Read more...]
Frackademia in Depth
An analysis of the oil and gas industry's scientific case for fracking In the wake of New York State’s decision to ban fracking, drilling proponents have criticized Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration for basing the decision on “pseudo science” and “junk science.” When asked about the New York fracking ban at his 2015 “State of American Energy” press conference, American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Jack Gerard called for “more thoughtful consideration as to … [Read more...]
Second Rule of Frack Club: When the Fracking Wells Run Dry, Shut the Frack Up
Shale is literally the bottom of the hydrocarbon barrel - the source rock for all conventional oil and gas reserves. Once it's tapped out, game over. Big time. Then things will get really interesting. If you don't have a solar panel and electric car, you will. Or you'll be riding shank's mare. This is not a matter of if, simply a matter of when this inevitability happens. The last thing the frackers want us to think about is what happens when the wells go dry. That's the Second Rule of Frack … [Read more...]

Gas Compressor Stations Don’t Make Great Neighbors
Unless you have some marshmallows you want to roast. Show below, and here is a partial list of US gas compressors and gas lines that have gone kablooey. To put this carnage in perspective, more people are killed in gas related incidents in a month in the US than have been killed by the US nuclear power plant industry in its history. And that body count does not include the source of the gas - fracking. . . 1. Explosion at Susquehanna Gas Compressor … [Read more...]
Fracking the Frackers Anti Fracking
Forbes has published the first of a two part series on "who's behind the fractavist" movement - as if there has to be something "behind" what is clearly a grass-roots amorphous effort. The frackers and their spokesman have taken this tack from the outset- that someone or some organization - Gazprom, the Saudi royals, the Park Foundation - has to be "behind" anti fracking - that anti frackers are paid, that they are part of a conspiracy controlled from somewhere. This fractavist conspiracy … [Read more...]
The Daily Frack – June 29
Seneca gas storage plan should be put on hold Approval of plans to vastly expand the Crestwood gas storage and distribution operation along Seneca Lake near Watkins Glen hinges on a single question: Will it be safe? The answer: Maybe. With so much at stake on the safe operation of this $40 million project, the answer must be more certain. Until then, New York should postpone issuing a permit for the plan. An in-depth Watchdog Report by Tom Wilber appearing in today's top … [Read more...]
