Interesting.
The capitalist part of me looks at stuff like this from a $$ viewpoint.
They outlaw fraccing, buy gassers---gas is down to about $3 a million btu's currently---that'd be a game changer. And would put spark back into coal too.
Fraccing w/o chemicals could be good---propane is kinda a cadillac way to go.
Cleaning up water, eliminating chemicals---

the above co is interesting, but it's a pinky and i don't do pinky's---too many scams and too little transparency.
a good 'enhanced' production tool would make a guy a mint---up to 90% of original 'oil in place' is left in place---here's an interesting one

i think nuc plants are inevitable---buy you can also do it with thorium---far more common in earths crust than u308, almost all consumed in process, very hard to make weapons outa what's left

Sometimes the gov't isn't a bad thing. In BC the oilpatch answers to a gov't body called the Oil and Gas Comission. They approve permits and enforce guidelines. Because of them work in the patch is done at a very high standard with regards to safety and the environment.
A friend of mine just got back from Williston ND, working as an inspector on pipeline and facility work in ND and MT. He was completely shocked by the lack of environmental and safety standards, he said it was like stepping back in time 30 or more years. The supply stores had never even heard of the parts he was trying to order, apparently they haven't been invented there yet lol.
In light of that, it does not surprise me that there are issues cropping up from fracs and other activities. It may be in everyones best interest down there to add some gov't oversight to oilpatch activities down there.

Silver- if you are on Facebook- check out the site Bakken Oilfield, Fail of the Day.....Dailey pictures and stories of vehicle wrecks, well disasters, or folks killed in the oil patch...Some are so bad they are sadly comical...Today they were talking about someone losing an arm on one of the sites...
Last year they had numerous trucking wrecks involving freight trains/Amtrak- and one of the rail road folks said that the majority of those involved in the wrecks did not have commercial licenses- and several had no license at all... Able to climb in the truck- you're a truck driver- no matter if you've drove a truck or not ... And with unemployment in this area around 2-4% they can't find enough local workers- so many of these drivers are southerners or folks that never have driven on icy or snowy roads...A dangerous combination... Might be the reason out of the last Highway Patrol recruit school of 10 new recruits- they stuck 8 in oil patch towns..

He might have been working on the pipeline that joined an existing line in Tam's home town. They are reversing the flow to get Bakken oil up to a bigger line going east.
Silver are going to be working on the Vantage pipe going from Empress to Tioga?
