CU is a liberal enclave so why would they publish findings contrary to their normal message?Quote:
The chemicals found in fracking fluid collected in five states — including Colorado — were no more toxic than common household substances, according to a newly released study by researchers at the University of Colorado.
Blinded by science?
"Than common household substances"
That's spooky. Look under your kitchen sink or in the laundry room. Common household substances that are very toxic and even worse if combined.
A buddy of mine used to do HazMat site mitigation estimates for Union Pacific RR. I asked him if he ever got nervous about walking on to the sites. He said no, the shit you find under the sink is 10 times spookier than any HazMat site he had been to.
"Common household substances ".................riiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt!
I second that burt when I saw the email with that yesterday morning there is a lot stuff under the sink I don't want to drink.
I took a couple of things away from this article:
The chemicals really aren't as scary as the anti-fracking crowd would have us believe. And while I don't want to drink many of the chemicals found under my sink that really isn't what they're saying.
The point of that is most of the chemicals found in the concentrations used in fracking aren't quite as bad as many want you to believe.Quote:
The study, published Wednesday in the journal Analytical Chemistry, found that chemicals in the fracking fluid samples also were found in everyday products such as toothpaste, detergent, ice cream and laxatives.
The other thing is, to the leftists, this really isn't about the truth:
No, Cliff, we're not missing the point. You're arguments aren't about fracking...your arguments are about leftist control and a hate towards anything "corporate". Ignorant tools like this guy make me laugh. Imagine the IQ level of the average leftist his arguments are directed towards. One would have to possess zero critical thinking skills in order not to see right through this argument. That's not to say there might not be better arguments against fracking...but this isn't one of 'em.Quote:
Cliff Willmeng, of the anti-fracking activist group East Boulder County United, declined to comment on the study itself, saying instead that "we're missing the point," with studies such as CU's diverting the conversation away from whether communities should ban fracking.
"This is a question of community rights versus corporate power," he said. "We don't need a study to conclude that democratic power comes from the people."
Willmeng added that Durango emergency room nurse Cathy Behr in 2008 went into organ failure after treating a worker who was exposed to fracking fluid, showing that it's dangerous.
And his "proof" that fracking is dangerous from the nurse anecdote is laughable. A worker was exposed to fracking fluid, goes to hospital, gets treated and then a nurse allegedly gets sick from it. Is it contagious? That's just hilarious.
Wonder if we could get Cliff to respond to this article where Hickenlooper tells about he and others drinking fracking fluid.

Cliff and his buddies are maroons.
No, Cliff and his buddies are evil, cold, calculating bastards ... don't underestimate these idiots but instead set out to destroy them.Quote:
