FED STUDY: Man-made quakes aren't nearly as strong or as bad as they sound...

Man-made earthquakes, a side effect of some high-tech energy drilling, cause less shaking and in general are about 16 times weaker than natural earthquakes with the same magnitude, a new federal study found.
"The hazard of these earthquakes is lower than what you'd expect," Hough said. "It's not that there's no hazard, it's just that it's a little better than you might think."

These faults can be slipping with less pent-up energy than they would have if they slipped naturally years later.



Also, a recent year long study by the Dept. Of Energy states there is NO effect (including from chemicals used) on wells, aquifers, or the water table from fracking.
"Don't think...LOOK!"

Lady Gaga hates fracking

“Right now, some people are trying to make easy money, and meanwhile ruin this country’s future, by a thing called ‘fracking.’” – Yoko Ono

“Though my father died when I was 5, I have always felt lucky to live on land he loved dearly; land in an area that is now on the verge of being destroyed.” – Sean Ono Lennon

Energy superpower: America has been the world’s largest petroleum producer for 29 months in a row

The shale revolution has transformed the US into a formidable energy superpower and America now consistently produces a greater “total oil supply” than Saudi Arabia (by more than 3M bpd for the last five months) and has led the world in total petroleum production for 29 straight months.

Thanks to revolutionary drilling and extraction techniques that were developed by American “petropreneurs”, vast oceans of previously locked shale oil and gas have been accessed across the country, making the US the world’s No. 1 petroleum producer.

China's largest shale gas project goes into production

 

The projectalso China's largest shale gas project to dateis the latest sign that China's shale gas sector has started to pick up steam in a bid to optimize the country's energy mix  pressure caused by air pollution.

The state companyalso Asia's biggest oil refinersaid that it plans to start the second phase at the same time with a production capacity of 5 billion cubic meters.

 

"The target will be achieved by reaching production capacity of 10 billion cm of shale gas resources in two phases by 2017, and this will accelerate the progress of shale gas exploration to the large-scale commercialization phase," Sinopec said in a statement.

WikiLeaks email confirms that Russia is funding anti-fracking groups in the West.

 

Anti-fracking is also the default position of any number of US foundations (Rockefeller, Hewlett Packard, Gordon and Betty Moore etc).

USGS Estimates 20 Billion Barrels of Oil in Texas’ Wolfcamp Shale Formation

 

This is the largest estimate of continuous oil that USGS has ever assessed in the United States.

 

The Wolfcamp shale in the Midland Basin portion of Texas’ Permian Basin province contains an estimated mean of 20 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of associated natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, according to an assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey. This estimate is for continuous (unconventional) oil, and consists of undiscoveredtechnically recoverable resources. 

 

The estimate of continuous oil in the Midland Basin Wolfcamp shale assessment is nearly three times larger than that of the 2013 USGS Bakken-Three Forks resource assessment, making this the largest estimated continuous oil accumulation that USGS has assessed in the United States to date.

Friends of the Earth admits false fracking claims

 

A green campaign group has agreed not to repeat misleading claims about the health and environmental impacts of fracking after complaints to an advertising watchdog.

 

The group’s capitulation is a victory for a retired vicar and a retired physics teacher who have been working for years to expose what they believe is scaremongering about a safe technique for extracting shale gas.

 

The authority found that Friends of the Earth (FoE) failed to substantiate claims that fracking could cause cancer, contaminate water supplies, increase asthma rates and send house prices plummeting.
