Watch the documentary, find the sources on the web, it’s not grandstanding, it’s real.

of course the Gas-Oil-Petroleum (GOP) party members would pooh-pooh things like safety – following regulations will cost their master’s money, and that will mean less money for GOPers bribery – err, campaign coffers

Right on.
Unfortunately it is over the head of the Boobgeoise.

I wonder how many of the shale gas haters routinely buy Liquid Plumber and pour toxic chemicals down their drain just to clean out a little clog.

Shale gas drilling is regulated at the state level. There is no need for Federal regulation, since there are far more polluting industrial and recreational activities that receive no Federal regulation as well.

Showing a picture of a flaming water tap is a nice stunt, and a good little piece of propaganda. But anyone who has ever lived in a rural area will tell you that all sorts of well contamination can occur without drilling, including methane contamination.

Bottom line – shale gas drilling, while not perfect, can generate electricity for more cleanly than coal. So long as coal is used for 50% of the electricity in this country, any reasonable enviromentalist would embrace any reasonable alternative to coal. Sadly, the environemental movement is more about grandstanding than it is about generating reasonable solutions.

Once again an emperial member of Congress puts his foot down to protect a hazardous practice that does nothing for the health and safety of this country’s people.

It is the same lack of regulation and forethought that brought us the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. Perhaps Rep. Robert Bishop (R-UT) was in a coma for that four-month period.

We need to take this gas problem more seriously and take better steps.

This goes to show how insane the the American public is, we are turning over the keys to the keys to same store, that in 2004 they robbed the store and then set fire to it as they left. America don’t squall when the republicans turn your state into a waste land.

You never cease to amaze me with your pseuo-journalism. Good story until : “It is not too long ago that Cheney was telling us to coweri in terror, certain that some foreign brown A-rab would come over here and poison up our water.” You really spoil an otherwise very informative web site. Like dog shit on a golf green.

And, for god sake, get a spell checker or at least learn to use the one you have.
