Don’t worry! Texas just passed a law allowing reclaimed fracking water to irrigate crops. That way everyone can get cancer!
Them girls look scared shitless at the end of that.
I’m sorry, did anyone think fracking was safe?
Lots of people have tried to convince us it’s safe. Those are the people making money from fracking.
$it’s $completely $ fine$ everyone$ should $ frack.
Everyone not being paid to do it would tell you it’s a bad idea. They break rocks in the substrata with no idea of how it will go or what effects it might have. Awuafers have been poisoned with natural gas, water tables have been ruined and misdirected. When the well is no longer profitable, they “cap” it and move on to greener pastures, letting the remaining gas bleed off into the environment unchecked. There are dozens of problems with fracking, but gas go boom so…
Yes yes, but think of the shareholder profits. Thats what really matters here, not these childish fantasies about the horrible nature of frakking and the fact that it makes water flammable! /s
I have experienced earthquakes. In Kansas City, Missouri. One had an epicenter near Stillwater, Oklahoma.
That’s not supposed to happen.
The things you’re saying are supposed to be suppressed

Even longer than that.
But gas means money, so fuck anyone and everything else that might get in the way.
is this not common knowledge?
Kinda? I mean you would think so but they spend millions on propaganda.
I was talking to a coworker at my last job about how fracking introduces dangerous chemical into the water supply, and a random guy we never talk to came up and said “OH YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT FRACKING” like his job depended on it… we were not at all related to fracking
It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.
Gaslighting is old-hat man.
Nowadays it’s kitchen-faucet-lighting.
also funding things like “curbing your carbon footprint companies”, so these pollutors dont need to lower thier emissions. seen them alot as a promotion in channels talking about nature, animals etc. the channel owners were cognizant enough to stop promoting it, once those companies have been called out as backed by OIL industry.
Yes, this is a problem much better solved on an institutional scale best served by government regulations, not by individuals doing their part. These companies you mention attempt to shift the burden of responsibility onto those with the least power to affect any real change. It’s diabolical.
Using fracking if you could have electric cars shows that it is all about spoiling ground water.
This is the preparation for selling water to everybody.
I can’t wait until we have to pay for breathable air.
Why do you think Musk wants to colonise Mars?

Is this “fracking”?
“Fracking (also known as hydraulic fracturing, fracing, hydrofracturing, or hydrofracking) is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of formations in bedrock by a pressurized liquid.”
It’s either that… Or maybe they’re talking about getting freaky on Battlestar Gallactica? It’s hard to tell.
Well since it says “fracking” then that means it is fracking
Thank you.
Wanted to fetch the description of the thing…
I just hope I got it right 😅
Why am I not fracking surprised.
Oh frack off…
You’re not my fracking mom you can’t tell me what to do! Stomps off…MOM SOMEONE IS IMPERSONATING YOU ONLINE.
It’s alright sweetie. A covert special ops has been dispatched to take them out.
And earthquakes
Also literal fire for tap water
And Mongolian death worms.
water is wet
And still there’s politicians out there saying things like “I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases”. Playing with people’s lives just to make a buck. Really shows they’re not beholden to the people but to the owning class.
But my freedom…
that’s BS there’s plenty of studies that shows how fracking is very healthy (for the shareholders)
Those kids are very bad people, at least one of them has links to the MS-13 gang.
And the others had shared sensitive pokemon information with that one. biggest threat to national security.
Good that we in Europe can’t buy Russian oil or gas (officiall) and get that beautiful fracking gas from the US regime or equally marvelous Qatar at 8 times the price.
And nicely shipped in an endless stream of diesel tankers.
What a fracking good deal.Europe can’t buy Russian oil or gas (officiall)
Did Nordstram I close down by any chance?
“close down”?
If you ment US terrorism then yes.The pipeline
Some Lemmy communities would die than realize the environmental harm Europe is doing to itself to make enemies with Russia
Europe isn’t making enemies with Russia, bud. Russia literally attacked them, it’s not “making enemies” to engage in self-defense and to not fund the people attacking you.
