Here's an idea: 1. Check groundwater for methane before fracking. 2. Check it afterwards.Neal Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933911904170752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-17524282107690480092011-11-08T21:52:36.999+00:002011-11-08T21:52:36.999+00:00Markus Haering-geothermal driller sued for causing...Markus Haering-geothermal driller sued for causing earthquakes in Switzerland. <br /><br /><br />Aquitted.vaudeviewgalor raandisisraisinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045187732283895410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-21054165684437765282011-11-08T17:47:44.569+00:002011-11-08T17:47:44.569+00:00Here's an interesting link to a story from ear...Here's an interesting link to a story from early 2009: http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/plan-drill-into-faultline-2572922 <br /><br />The last line is quite prescient; Christchurch getting clobbered by big earthquakes in late 2010 and again in 2011. <br /><br />Is there a link between drilling and creating quakes? Probably not, although I'd bet that there is a military-backed research project looking into it somewhere...alibabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260294829364944386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-91294134345675472462011-11-08T17:45:34.926+00:002011-11-08T17:45:34.926+00:00Good news, so long as the only carbon capture is p...Good news, so long as the only carbon capture is preventing it leaving the mouths of Chris Huhne and Caroline Lucas: http://tinyurl.com/bogm5f3Neal Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933911904170752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-47374902382898457772011-11-08T17:08:43.781+00:002011-11-08T17:08:43.781+00:00If you read where the report is from there can be ...If you read where the report is from there can be little in the way of 'paid by big oil' accusations. They found no contamination from the fracking fluids etc, but did find methane. However correlation is not causation and they couldn't really say whether or not it was there before fracking.Neal Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933911904170752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-90706820033897287072011-11-08T16:54:11.571+00:002011-11-08T16:54:11.571+00:00Interesting info.
