Lol at "whispering in george's ear." It was a little Halliburton elf!

Shrubbie, you should broaden your horizons a bit. Wikipedia is a decent reference point, but an authority on nothing.
Posting a link to a wikipedia article is merely a cop out. It shows that your ideology dictates your research when it should be the other way around.

its information and its all linked.
funny you don't go after the particulars and just the site.
It is not a biased site and is full to the brim with info you can trust because you can source it out to the original source.
trashing wiki is just what the anti fact people do while siting brietbart and Beck

Why you tarns millions in the oil industry, when Cheney is the clearest target possible

Show me where I "trashed" wikipedia and you may have a point. Tearing down straw men that you yourself built only testifies to my point.

they link you to the authorities and you can suss out all the sides points.
ITS a GREAT source.

Why don't you find the source yourself? Oh wait, because your conclusion precedes it. Antiscience.

OH MY GOD!!! This idiot must have stocks in oil!!! Fracking causes earth quakes and pollutes drinking water. So does their stupid sonar. You want to know why denizens of the deep are turning up dead? They are getting killed by sonar searching for oil!
It does neither moron

Democratic report: carcinogens injected into wells
Sat Apr 16, 9:58 pm ET
WASHINGTON – Millions of gallons of potentially hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens were injected into wells by leading oil and gas service companies from 2005-2009, a report by three House Democrats said Saturday.
The report said 29 of the chemicals injected were known-or-suspected human carcinogens. They either were regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act as risks to human health or listed as hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
Methanol was the most widely used chemical. The substance is a hazardous air pollutant and is on the candidate list for potential regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The report was issued by Reps. Henry Waxman of California, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Diana DeGette of Colorado.
The chemicals are injected during hydraulic fracturing, a process used in combination with horizontal drilling to allow access to natural gas reserves previously considered uneconomical.
The growing use of hydraulic fracturing has allowed natural gas production in the United States to reach levels not achieved since the early 1970s.
However, the process requires large quantities of water and fluids, injected underground at high volumes and pressure. The composition of these fluids ranges from a simple mixture of water and sand to more complex mixtures with chemical additives.
The report said that from 2005-2009, the following states had at least 100,000 gallons of hydraulic fracturing fluids containing a carcinogen: Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Wyoming, North Dakota, New Mexico, Montana and Utah.
States with 100,000 gallons or more of fluids containing a regulated chemical under the Safe Drinking Water Act were: Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Mississippi and North Dakota.
The report said many chemical components were listed as "proprietary" or "trade secret."
"Hydraulic fracturing has opened access to vast domestic reserves of natural gas that could provide an important stepping stone to a clean energy future," the report said.
"Yet, questions about the safety of hydraulic fracturing persist, which are compounded by the secrecy surrounding the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing fluids. This analysis is the most comprehensive national assessment to date of the types and volumes of chemical used in the hydraulic fracturing process."
The investigation of chemicals used in fracturing was started in the last Congress by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which then was controlled by Democrats. The committee asked the 14 leading oil and gas service companies to disclose the types and volumes of the hydraulic fracturing products they used between 2005 and 2009 and the chemical contents of those products

The question of whether or not drilling for geothermal energy, gas, and oil can cause earthquakes has been answered by geologists and seismologists. The answer is Yes, it can.
