Fracking Blackpool
 

Your posts are full of something, but no facts that are backed up with any substance, Unless it's that brown stuff that comes out of bulls, too much of it can ruin the environment we AccyWebbers depend on!

5 million over the life of a well is nothing compared to the amount of water that is lost every day to leaks. In 2010 the water companies were losing 3.3 billion litres every day in leaks according to the Independent in the link Water torture: 3,300,000,000 litres are lost every single day through leakage - Home News - UK - The Independent

That makes the water used by fracking tiny and insignificant - did you ignore the leaks thing because it didn't help your argument?

So you don't think 5 years of drought in a State that has always been mainly arid could be the cause?
You're post 97 simply lists water shortage areas. It doesn't mention fracking.
The Texan State Water Board states around 1% of the overall water usage in Texas goes to the oil and gas industry. A lot of that is 'brackish' and from very deep wells so is undrinkable anyway and can't be used for agriculture. More is recycled sewage water sold to the frackers by the towns and cities.

Might I suggest your assumption and your post 'Doesn't hold water'?

Just a minor point- Briscoe appears to be in the middle of the West Texas Desert. Contributing factor??

Somehow I get the feeling that 'fracking' must be far more environmentally friendly than the little escapade we helped the Americans with to get our hands on Iraq's oil.

this is what happens when utilities are run for profit of the greedy hedge fund companies... its not only water that is leaking but billions of £s out of the country through tax avoidance and shareholder money.

I don't care about all that you said at the moment. I was just showing that the water used by fracking isn't much relatively speaking

But it is when its taken from the only water source in your town.

Re: Fracking Blackpool
 

Which town?
Which water source?
Name the town which had its water supply taken from it to supply fracking.
You make these vague comments, if you have any facts tell us!
