People May Die of Thirst as Fossil Fuel Production Exhausts and Pollutes Our Fresh Wa

Arguing with you is like arguing with a three-year-old.

1. Per my earlier quote: "NGCC plants consume about a third as much water as coal steam turbine (CST) plants. "
2. And to quote you back: "Natural gas ... is primarily Methane, which produces CO2 and water when burned."

Yet again I say to you; cooling towers do not "consume" water, they heat it and return it too it's source and or distill it.

Fracking does "consume" water, in that it renders it unusable for human consumption.

1. Large cooling towers use the evaporation of water to remove process heat.

2. You must be drunk, unable to form a complete thought or in fact finish one. And earlier you said this:

While factually true, your statement ignores the fact that the vast majority of that water is undrinkable sea water, atmospheric vapor, and or too polluted to drink. Yes we have lots of water, not we do not have much clean fresh water, and furthermore you despicable Truth Deleter, the entire topic is about localities.

Yet you know that water vapor is distilled and thereby purified water, AND most of the water taken into cooling towers is returned to it's source.

So what? It still makes sense to use natural gas to make electricity rather than coal, since the process uses about 1/3 less water overall.

Not if the Nat gas has to be derived by fracking, at least how it is presently done
 
Is this a prediction from the same "scientists" who never apologized for predicting there would be no northern polar ice cap by the year 2005?
 
It's snowing in Rhode Island today. Global warming says libs. Bullshit say I. Let me know when snow no longer exists. Then I'll believe it.

They say the warming is making the ice caps melt and releasing cold air into the atmosphere causing large cold fronts.

If people think that all this exhaust pollutant from cars and factories doesn't trap heat, they haven't done their homework. They've believe the lies of the fossil fuel burning industry that profits from polluting our air, water, soil and pretty much everything we eat.

Weather predicting is not a perfect science. They cant predict what will happen tomorrow let alone, what happened thousands of years ago or hundreds of years in the future. What we do know is that the caps are melting at an increasing rate.

The frack uses water once, then the well produces for years. How do you not know this?

I do know this. I also know that six million gallons are polluted and 2/3 of the output is unregulated.
How do you not know this?

Six million big fucking deal. Do you know how much water enters sewer systems in the US in one day? Every single gallon of it is "polluted".

Yes and it goes to treatment plants to remove the contaminants. Produced water, returned from gas wells is not treated.

Approximately 10% to 30% of the total water used per frack returns to the surface with the extracted gas. The remaining water remains deep underground. It is mostly absorbed by the shale formation, which is isolated from the water table.

The water that returns to the surface is called "flowback." The water – which contains salts and other naturally occurring elements and may contain trace concentrations of fracking chemicals – is captured and stored for treatment or disposal.
