Landmark Fracking Study Finds No Water Pollution

Landmark Fracking Study Finds No Water Pollution: The final report from a landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, found no evidence that chemicals or brine water from the gas drilling process moved upward to contaminate drinking water at a site in western Pennsylvania. The Department of Energy report, released Monday, was the first time an energy company allowed independent monitoring of a drilling site during the fracking process and for 18 months afterward. After those months of monitoring, researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas stayed about 5,000 feet below drinking water supplies. The fracking process uses millions of gallons of high-pressure water mixed with sand and chemicals to break apart rocks rich in oil and gas.





MISSION STATEMENT

As conversations of weather occurrences and suggested anomalies become
more frequent and mainstream in the scientific community, as well as at
the grass-roots-level, the need to embrace and index substantive
information into an authoritative conduit to encourage more research and
development~~~IS IMPERATIVE.

Pertinent themes as Global Warming, Climate Change, and Melting Ice Caps
has stimulated discussions, seeded forums, and spawned additional
research, all to foster consensus, and recommend courses-of-action. 

The intent of CLIMATE; THE CONVERSATION, is to be The Bulletin Board,
The Platform, The Podium,  and The Credible Source & Bibliography
for such astute, sincere, and scholarly considerations. 

Sincerely;

Administrators:

Being  at the TIPPING-POINT that these actions are having,  it becomes necessary
to access their impacts and once having recognized the negative affects
on the environment, the land that we are farming, our commercial and industrial endeavors, the atmosphere that
we are breathing, it is critical to recognize that WE MUST REVERSE THESE
TRENDS. Then, given the time
and place to implement actions and practices to have a cause-and-effect
impact in a positive
way, will influence implementation, and at least retard further
deterioration of our environment and our climate.  On a larger scale,
reversing the trends of deterioration should always be----the ultimate
objective.   

Its impact on the economy, pollution, and the focus on Climate; The
Conversation---makes this worthy of continued enthusiasm and
consideration
