Hi,
Yeah, fracking really can make a mess. What frustrates me is that we finally found an inexpensive energy source that should bring manufacturing jobs back, and alleviate the high energy prices we currently pay. Instead they want to build LNG terminals to export the valuable resource. If we want NG in the U.S. we will have to bid on it against other countries, which will only drive the price up. Mean while, we have to live with the problems fracking causes. We get sold out again.
Politics aside: I have always heard that NG was a very clean fuel source. Then again, it might be relative to how dirty the other sources are.
I consider websites like this to be a valuable resource, the sharing of information, DIY low budget solutions and general brainstorming is truly a valuable asset.
