How is fracking destructive? Sounds like a definitive statement.
Fracking is not the process used to extract oil from oil shale. Extraction requires the rock to be heated either in place or mined and processed.

yup - they are doing a ton of fracking there for natural gas now. One of the big problems is that you can't find a place to stay anywhere within an hour of the work sites as all the hotels are pretty much full and many of the camp grounds with hookups for trailers/rvs are limiting people to less than 5 day stays or risk being cut off from use of the city sewer system. Water and sewage systems can't keep up with the needs of the area. My uncle went up there to repo a 5th wheel - the guy said no problem and helped hook it up - guess they couldn't find a place to park it legally and had to buy water in gallon jugs to fill the tank.
Gawd I wish a few of the conspiracy experts on internet boards would take a physics class.
You don't accelerate and move 2 ton vehicles around for free.
It ain't happenin' folks.
And as soon as you find a fuel of any kind that has the kind of energy density as refined petroleum, and won't cause cancer, or make your hair fall out, please let us all know about it okay?
I have Computer Science degree and time in the oil exploration field.. Oil is abiotic.. that's all I have to say for now

it's a fairly simple strategy really...
the US (and by that I mean the mega-congolemerate/corporations) decided a long time ago to not drill it's own oil reserves and instead import as much cheap oil as it can until a point when oil becomes too expensive to import..
at some point, there will be a scarcity of foreign oil and guess what country will be sitting on untapped reserves...
unfortunately it will be a few rich corporations that will reap this benefit and will undoubtedly sell the local oil they drill for the going international rate even though it costs much less to produce...
the price will be just as high or worse for us.. cheap oil is a thing of the past...
In Alaska alone there is at least a 500 year supply for North America at our current rate.. and I mean it's capped and being concealed, not the admitted strikes that are being pumped
Oil is as big a scam as diamonds, and unlike diamonds it's renewable.. abiotic
