Re: Oklahoma is OK,,, for Big Business
You don't have to get condescending and petulant.
For the last time I READ THE STATEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE STATEMENT.
Suggesting that I did not is a cheap smear that is a poor substitute for thoughtful comment.
The OGS clearly states that the waste water is a byproduct of the separation process, which is a necessary step in the process which makes fracked oil and gas usable. To pretend that fracking has nothing to do with it is myopic in the extreme. Maybe finding another way of disposing of the waste water is all that is necessary. But it is a byproduct of fracking.
Why are you hijacking this thread by pretending that there is some great mystery as to where this water comes from? The OGS says where the water comes from. You just have to read beyond the first twelve words of paragraph two.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Oklahoma is OK,,, for Big Business
So, let me see if I can construct an analogy.
Goose runs a mining company. The company mines silver. When the silver is first mined if is contaminated with some mercury. I remove the mercury to produce pure silver. The mercury is then put back into the ground at a deeper level where it becomes a source of problems.
Someone says that Goose's silver mining operation causes mercury contamination. But Goose says, "Not true! I don't use mercury. The mercury was already there. Mercury is merely what is disposed of after I'm done. It has nothing to do with me".
That about it?

Re: Oklahoma is OK,,, for Big Business
I guess we are just going to ignore the topic of the thread:
In an especially fractious split, the day after the state’s energy and environment cabinet acknowledged that the “recent rise in earthquakes cannot be entirely attributed to natural causes,” state lawmakers passed two bills to limit the ability of localities to decide if they want to allow fracking and drilling nearby.
