yup it's true, people hate fraking because it's not the result of environmental regulationn. 2. Earthquakes.. While a connection based on timing appears to exist, these is not yet much proof as to causation. Three decades of data is really nothing in geological terms and most of these earthquakes are not discernable without modern instrumentation. ... So we truly have very limited data. Personally I am concerned about this one as " don't know" is just that. The spike in seismic activity is something to investigate. |

Just as an aside, earthquakes are a likely outcome whenever you push fluid under pressure into the ground. Like, when you build dams. Fluids get pushed into old faults and lubricate them, causing earthquakes (because they can slide easier) of considerably lower magnitude (because they can slide easier). There is nothing new here.

Here we go:
In a little-noticed technical report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency, a part of the Energy Department, said this month that energy related U.S. CO2 emissions for the first four months of this year fell to about 1992 levels. Energy emissions make up about 98 percent of the total. The Associated Press contacted environmental experts, scientists and utility companies and learned that virtually everyone believes the shift could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy. While conservation efforts, the lagging economy and greater use of renewable energy are factors in the CO2 decline, the drop-off is due mainly to low-priced natural gas, the agency said. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...08-16-22-39-40 |

This could be a complete misunderstanding on my part, but I understood they were refusing to provide full breakdowns to the regulators as well. It's understandable if its just not wanting to give trade secrets to competitors, but surely the people monitoring the industry need to know that stuff? |
