Fracking in America | Fault Lines

[@dovershores3929]

I say let them Frack but here are the requirements......All corporate executives and their family must take permanent residence where they frack. Wanna bet fracking all of a sudden becomes not such a good idea after all.

[@burningwater1626]

+Dover Shores And drink polluted ground water.

[@ShaleShockMedia]

Excellent production... thanks.

[@madelinegleim6987]

I like the guy close to the end "Its not left its not right. Its right and its wrong."

[@RockinCowgirl1000]

I've read articles, watched both pro and anti-fracking vids. It's a real dilemma. The risks you stated are real and we are gambling with them. But this new energy pulled us out of the recession and is reducing our deficits. We're stuck with it now. Stronger regulations are the best we can hope for. I know folks from my home state of MN, who went to work in ND and saved themselves from bankruptcy. Life is more important than money, but tell that to a desperate, unemployed person.

[@squishycommander]

Please. In my hometown of Peters Township near Pittsburgh PA, over 70% of us voted to allow fracking companies to drill in our town. It is bringing in businesses and jobs into our region. So far, after 2 years no pollution to our community what so ever. Yes as seen in this video, fracking accidents do happen when a company is ignorant and they should be condemned. But for the most part, natural gas drilling has brought nothing but good to my community.

[@sugarwadda]

thank you.

[@ChristopherSvanefalk]

Who created it? What was his name?

[@murattk22]

They also Frack on Battlestar Galactica LMFAO

[@Wittgensteinien]

Read E.F. Schmauchers a guide for the Perplexed, then a book written by modernist economists on representational democracy and capitalism. Then read polemics and literary critiques of democracy during the New deal era. After that read some post-modern 90's literature on liberal democracy.

[@Wittgensteinien]

Why would you criticize a news channel trying to protect you when your own news won't?

[@moonsugar1]

Oil i far more valuable because its 'cheap' oil. Not because it costs less, but because it gives you a lot of energy back, considering the energy you put in to getting it. Alberta Canada and the US have the massive reserves of Oil Shale, but crude Oil still trumps it because it gives you shed loads more energy. This is why the US is still dependent on foreign oil, and why other oils won't replace crude. Its called EROI, (Energy return on investment)

[@titleANDr3gistration]

If you haven't seen the documentary, Gasland, do yourself a favor and watch it ASAP. Very scary stuff here.

[@dhockey63]

Like it or not, its either frack for more domestic energy or rely on middle eastern nations for oil. Hm, Qatar owns AlJazzera if im not correct

[@PoliticalFodder]

When you give up you lose, no one knows when it's too late and we should never stop trying. You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

[@tazdevil742]

ahh I love the irony of the journalist driving a huge SUV, whilst reporting on resources....

[@hialeahe]

After that interview with Scott Perry I would have brought him a cup of water from the woodlands and asked him to drink it if he was so sure the water wasn't contaminated.

[@rootfukushima30]

Now they drill next to creek, streams and rivers in Carlisle, Pennsylvania

[@akuma862005]

You wouldn't be saying that if you were getting sick from this water. What if you were Scott Ely?

[@PoliticalFodder]

So what are you doing about it?

[@squishycommander]

I never said I was an expert. Neither are you. I'm just saying what I know for a fact. The reports are isolated, and those that have been affect SHOULD be compensated. But, more good has come out of this than bad and other states should not get in the affairs of Pennsylvania.

[@jbfane]

How come AlJazeerra never does news reports about the inequality and abuse against women in Saudi Arabia?

[@PoliticalFodder]

I'm very sorry for you. I hear many of your rivers have dried up as well.

[@bryngriffith]

It's all about the money. Forget nature, forget the animals that survive in these areas, its all about the green. It will be a great day when fusion becomes reality.

[@Altman1337]

Chef Bryn Fusion is a suppressed technology.

[@burningwater1626]

+Chef Bryn Fusion was touted when I was a grad student in 1965. It sounded very impressive, and I couldn't wait until it became a reality. I'm really sure I can't wait today.

[@RockinCowgirl1000]

It's safe when everything is done right but accidents DO happen. There needs to be some compensation for those people who are hurt when things go wrong. We're not going to ban fracking now that it's widely used in this country. Like you said, even Obama backs it. The biggest problems seem to come out of PA, probably from lack of regulation there. I can't believe they don't tax their gas. ND taxes their oil and they've got a budget surplus from it..

[@RonWagner]

Biogas is also abundant and renewable. #biogas

[@pimpslickness]

I don't hug trees, but i like breathing and drinking non toxic sustenance.

[@lukeokazaki7863]

Why AlJazeera blocks comments and likes in some kinda of videos? Like the one of the bus explosion, are you trying to put out news and people cant even questioning?

[@mphailey]

If not coal or fracked natgas then what should be our energy source? Only realistic option if not those two is uranium -- which everyone hates and is prone to black swans. Solar and wind cannot be baseload power. Geothermal energy is wonderful but capitalize intensive and lacking in intellectual capital currently (NEVADA GEO POWER). Energy is a great challenge for civilization.

[@The3rdPlateau]

Digging up fossilized plants & burning it...I wouldn't really call that a 19th century practice, but a 20th century one. However, we are of course now in the 21st, and it is indeed time to move on. Wind, solar, & nuclear fusion research all the way! Maybe even conventional nuclear fission if we can learn to build the reactors more safely (as with Pebble-Bed Reactors, or Thorium Reactors).

[@saucywench9122]

Fracking is not the answer. It will destabilize a fault line. I can't imagine why they need to use chemicals. That should never be an option. Say goodbye to clean groundwater.

[@lukeokazaki7863]

Ok, so whats the point of disable ''likes'' of the video, and just for your information, they do this in a lot of videos, and they are here to bring the news, not to see if there's some trolls in the channel, and who talked about ''CONSPIRACY'', I just asked a question... lol

[@Wittgensteinien]

Yea America's fucked.There's no way out. I know graduate students who are going to make their career chronicling the downpour of issues that we are facing. God knows no-one can save it, there's too much, no-ones doing anything, we waited too late.

[@archmichael5332]

At this rate humanity has signed it's own death certificate!

[@PoliticalFodder]

Apathy and evil. The two work hand in hand. They are the same, really.... Evil wills it. Apathy allows it. Evil hates the innocent and the defenseless most of all. Apathy doesn't care as long as it's not personally inconvenienced. -JAKE THOENE, Shaiton's Fire Don't get depressed get active, we need your help!

[@squishycommander]

Fracking has brought my city millions. Did yoi know that the US has twice as much natural gas as saudi arabia has oil?

[@avgfree21]

cant people just like walk up and turn the wells off?

[@Fringeless]

Another frack video that does not show a single frack site. Just wells and drilling. Sounds like poor drilling and failures of casing. Wells are fracked after they are drilled, it is the last step in the process.

[@RockinCowgirl1000]

Sad, scary and true. Most of the easily accessible oil and gas in this country is gone.

[@R.T.and.J]

Yeah, that really bothered me..

[@ChristopherSvanefalk]

"And oil is NOT from "FOSSIL FUELS," it does NOT come from dinosaur bones; it's "abiotic," " What?

[@black_baron_net]

14:17 I DO know how tech works right and how politicians make tech going totally wrong! That's my opinion.

[@chinchek]

along with people questioning****

#ronwagn #natgas#fracking

[@lukeokazaki7863]

Not for you, but for 24 for people

[@theflaminglipps]

Fracking will kill millions.

[@MichaelAlandry]

This is fracking ridiculous.

[@MrCdrant]

It's a lot less religiously bias and bias in general than most western news outlets.

[@indukuri009]

it blocks comments mainly videos which attract anti islamic rhetoric, after all its funded from that qatar govt fund which heavily uses its fund to advance islamic ideology

[@VxO4fame]

Tell that the qatar sheikh/regime that is being supported by us/the west. Well i am sure you are not capable for showing me the differences between the western media and AlJazeera.

[@Wittgensteinien]

Lack of America's system adapting to 21st cet

[@louisdepitera]

This is so depressing. This is the new America.

[@jacob7207]

Dont buy "cheap" energy.

[@OutbackAl]

Forget all this nonsense, we need to move to a Resource Based Economy. Anything else is insanity.

[@juancsmix]

i bet you have never watched aljazeera. you have clearly no idea what you are saying.

[@CanadianImperialist]

except when it comes to israel, most biased network ever
