What are you trying to tell us,we're all floating on a cloud of gas and if we extract it we'll all disappear down a large hole? The gas is extracted from a porous but solid medium,taking millions of coal out and leaving the mine tunnels open hasn't caused Accrington to disappear yet! Although some would say- no we won't go into that. |

Re: Fracking Blackpool
Unless you are aware that Holland has an oilfield:rolleyes:, the gas extracted is from shale, which requires fracking

Perhaps I should have said ' Who says so who has a credible opinion worth reading'. The Greanville Post(What the System doesn't want you to know).A conspiracy site 'focusing on the infotainment world'! I think not. The Stuart Smith Blog? A lawyer, not a scientist.I think not. Aspen-first paragraph says,in brief,'large earthquakes in Virginia and Colarado AREN'T typically associated with hydraulic fracturing. So a 4.5 in the Netherlands probably has nothing to do with fracking, according to one of your sources. So the ground settles a bit, it often did after mining,no real problem. |
Re: Fracking Blackpool
So you want the opinion of a geologist? - find it here
OpEdNews - Podcast: Geologist Scott Ausbrooks on Fracking/Earthquake connection "Scott M. Ausbrooks, RPG Registered Professional Geologist Geohazards Supervisor, Arkansas Geological Survey Scott led a team that discovered a connection between Fracking disposal wells and earthquakes. " PS not all geologists agree - some are employed by the gas industry;) |

'The earthquake connection is through disposal wells. Fracking can be done without disposal wells.' 'earthquakes in Arcansas near a quarry'. 'Filling a reservoir can set it off'. A picture of some mud with cracks in it-earthquake damage? For heavens sake, it's got FOOTMARKS in it-perhaps a VERY heavy person caused it. Hardly the end of the world. Your inference that any geologists who don't agree with your theory are employed by the gas industry diminishes your argument. |
Re: Fracking Blackpool
From the same news source I believe.
Earthquake in the Netherlands The most telling comment :- The earthquake took place at a depth of 7 km, which according to seismologists at KNMI is not deep. It is still unclear what caused the earthquake, but it seems to be a natural cause. Until confirmation, the accusation of fracking being responsible would appear invalid & yes I was aware of the Dutch oil fields. Living just 50 minutes from the Dutch Border I tend to spend a fair bit of time in Holland. |
Re: Fracking Blackpool
In Iceland yesterday they created about 100 earthquakes ( less than Magnitude 2) in 4 hours at the hydrothermal plant without problems.

Re: Fracking Blackpool
latest comments to the subject as in the papers today :-
Will Blackpool become the new gas frontier? - Telegraph Also an interesting quote from the comments section :- Lastly, there is no “k” in hydraulic fracturing – people who use 'frack' {as against 'frac'** are recent discoverers of this 60 year old process, know little about it {apart from the polemic Gasland** & are knee-jerk opposers of it **& probably of any fossil fuel use**. :) |
Re: Fracking Blackpool
The July edition of 'Lancashire magazine' carried a story about the search for gas being undertaken a few fields away from where I live, in Singleton, near Pouilton le Fylde .....
'One of the company's founders is geologist Peter Tuirner, who was born in Oswaldtwistle. He had a glittering career as an academic before the foundation of Cuadrilla (the company) in 2007' Do we know owt about 'im? His mother was a weaver and he worked briefly in the same mill. His photo is in the magazine. 'Cuadrilla' is a Spanish word referring to the supporters of a matador in the bull ring. |

PS I think that the pollution possibilities need evaluating. The potential pollution of groundwater could affect horticulture industry there.
