If it's in the air, it's in the water...

FW Weekly has some good blog postings about the side effects of gas drilling. Be sure to read Don Young's link included in the post.

We can't replace our air or water, neither should be for sale in the shale.

  1. Let's set their truthfullness deficiency aside, this piece raises a question related to the Carter Ave. pipeline saga: the latest claim by Chesapeake (as unquestioningly reported by a certain reporter for the FW Startlegram on 10/16/09) is that the 16-inch (originally 24-inches and might be in some easement contracts) gas pipelines they want to shove under people's front yards will be bored/buried at least "130--that's three digits--feet under the surface of the ground" (from 20 feet deep--then 10-feet deep, and in many contracts "at least 36-inches benetath the surface"). If they are to be believed, will this boring depth affect the water aquifers/sheds? Any one out there have any info?--Scott Carter
