Nice video for dummies. I have 17 years in the industry and all those opposed to this operation have been given the classic misdirection from both sides. It does not contaminate drinking water unless they are fracking at depths above 300m(1000ft), or the cement is missing around the casing(.00001%chance). There was a problem with coal bed methane fracks, using only nitrogen, at shallow depths that could cause coal seams to leak methane into surface water. Thats the gasland scenario with fire at the tap. This is a farce for conventional fracking in horizontal wells. It does use huge amounts of fresh water, that's the only downside, and never seems to get mentioned. Even the chemicals used these days are getting more enviro-friendly and better disclosed to the public. FYI

We drill wells to over 17,000ft. Yes you read that right, OVER 3 MILES DEEP! Water tables can be drilled and reached with very small conventional rigs to a few thousand feet or less for water wells. So what your saying is that liquid is defying the laws of gravity and finding a way to come back up 2 miles to contaminate your water??? Better have another glass of media and ponder that.

It's now 2019 here in PA and the bottom feeders moved on from trying to stop fracking to trying to institute a severance tax (I guess now fracking is ok if it can be milked for money). The missing fact is that fracking companies here in PA already paid a usage fee in excess of a billion dollars. More facts, electricity produced by fossil fuels or nuclear power is way more reliable and cheaper than anything else sow far (carbon foot print, bite my a$$, it's a minor constituent of the atmosphere).

does nobody else agree that it's most likely the drilling process that causes the methane to enter the water table? Everyone in every video always says its after the drilling rig was there, the frac crew shows up well after the rig has left and the problem already exists. Every well is encased to 500 meters, well below your water table. Any fracing takes place 2Km below ground and while they are pumping chems and sand down there the chems are going to return to surface when the well flows back.

Once again, another uninformed reporter who has no idea what she is talking about when it comes to oil and gas drilling and production. I'll just focus on the first point she made about the fracturing process. She stated that a hydraulic process is used to pump a bunch of chemicals and "SOME" sand and water, as in very little, into the formation. First of all, she exaggerates the amount of chemicals used, typical. . the total amount of chemicals used makes up less than 1% of the fluid mixture (proppant). The other 99% is sand and water. Also, these chemicals are found in everyday consumer products like soap, plastics, detergents, etc. Use your mind and go earn a degree in petroleum engineering for yourselves if you are unable to think rationally, and believe a source like CNN and the highly qualified petroleum engineer like that reporter. Oh right! shes just a reporter!!!

While CO2 isn't the only pollutant and i`m sure it has less particulate matter. sulphur. and other contaminants what are its unique effects to the climate and immediate environment?

Thanks i try to remain civil, at the end of the day everyone just wants their voice to be heard or given a chance to do something important. Still alot of people make completely legitimate arguments but instead acknowledging the person for what they know or don`t know they just resort to a cuss out. Although i will disagree with you. Energy has by all means made our life much easier and changed our life in many ways. We survived before, we had fun before technology, we had to talk to real people before social media. I mean we spend sooo much energy and resources on our whims and fancies now -me included, like why on earth does someone need a marbled countertop -- its almost purely foShow. So my view is while the energy revolution has changed many things for the better it doesn't always and alot of it can be two steps forward and one backward. Africa does need energy to drive development, it has alot of natural resouces it could utilize that sadly have not historically been directed at improving the lives of the people but have gone into an abyss of corruption. Even legitimately it has been directed at building the intangible idea of an economy and investor confidence. my perspective is that when we improve conditions and afford opportunities to everyone those things are bound to follow. We are getting better at using the resources we have and i agree that climate change is receiving alot more attention than it needs. It is such a huge problem that no one country can take an effective stand against it and as a result no one really tries. There are much more workable problems like deforestation, habitat fragmentation and change, inefficient use of resources and more. Simply replanting native trees would solve that list of problems. But people don`t know and aren't well educated about the problems and solutions so these solutions won't happen until they are .........For now we can just bring awareness but when enough people know, we'll bring some real change. :)

This was absolutely pitiful. She failed to mention how the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation commission discovered how that guy lighting his faucet had drilled his water well through FOUR different coal beds. Also the reason the company's say that we can't frack into ground water is that Net Fracture pressure must exceed the closure pressure in order to extend the height of the fracture. Since perforation friction increases as the fracture is extended the closure will eventually overcome net/extension and frack fluid pressures. I don't know all the science but at least I tried harder to learn it than CNN did!!

Gary Arthurs, geophysicist here. You’re right about point #1, it is high pressure that fractures rock, rather than high speeds. To point #2, CNN is inaccurate. We have the capability to drill through “any” rock and we aren’t going for “pockets hidden beneath the rock”. The oil and gas is trapped in tight pore spaces (microscopic in size) and horizontal drilling allows more connection with an entire lateral section of rock that we know contains these pores (~10,000 feet, horizontally). The pressure and water breaks this rock creating fractures, and the sand keeps these fractures open so the oil can flow from the pores to the horizontal wellbore uninhibited by closed rock. These days, the well goes down about 8,000 feet before turning horizontal for a stretch of 10,000. Fracking only happens in this horizontal section. She is also incorrect about the US’s reserves. We currently produce more oil and gas than anywhere else in the world, only because of this technology. As said in other comments, the methane issue is shallow surface, bad quality casing around the well. Spills on the surface contribute to ground water contamination, but a well-cased well (the standard, these days, because of so many well-deserved and implemented regulations) does not leak into water sources.

When you attack someone for thinking they work in the industry or what they believe in then it shows how much you don't really look at both sides and the whole picture of a debate.

This video is SO full of inaccuracies that it is sad. 1. The oil is not under the rock, it's trapped in the rock 2. The US has the largest oil and natural gas reserves in the world 3. Every instance of people lighting their drinking water on fire has been debunked 4. The federal government can only control the drilling on federal land. All the fracking has been on private land 5. The first frack well was drilled in 1948. It is not new. What is new is horizontal or directional drilling. That is what makes fracking affordable. CNN has no clue what is involved in fracking.

you know fracking putting chemicals into the under ground water table will eventually contaminate all underground water , they're all connected the north west where most fracking occurs is at a higher elevation water will flow down into the rest of the states water tables at lower elevations contaminating them as well

Only sad part about that, your neighbor a mile down the road can sell his, and he might not even have gas under his land, but you do, and they'll directional drill to under YOUR HOUSE and take YOUR GAS. So you mind as well get your money while ya can. Sad but true. I'm a Frac worker. I hear stories about it all the time where a family was offered a lease and denied it because of whatever, pride I guess..and regretted it when their neighbor came running over to show them the check he was written.

Very good presentation of misrepresentation and information manipulation. Here's a challenge for you: go find out where the source of your public drinking water is located...I'll give you a hint - it's NOT from underground !

Challenge accepted. Groundwater is the source of about a third of the water that county and city water departments supply to households and businesses (public supply).

The central debate about fracking should be these supposedly educational videos about fracking. You showed a bunch of drilling rigs which is irrelevant. Also it's very well known what is in these chemicals, how do you think they are able to develop MSDS for them which are required by law?

I am a Frac worker, and usually we have anywhere from 25 to 50 people on a single well site. It takes an extreme amount of manpower and equipment to do this job. My particular office that I'm employed out of consists of 150 men. That's just one office out of hundreds maybe a thousand offices where the jobs are dispatched from. Out of the entire process of drilling, completing, stimulation, and producing a well, Frac is the most demanding and takes the most people and energy to do.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have environmental laws that are specified by Congress to protect human health and the environment. This paper uses the Halliburton Loophole as a case study, the counterarguments of politicians, and California regulation studies to show how our leaders - specifically Richard B. Cheney - changed concrete environmental laws to benefit the Halliburton Corporation during Cheney’s Vice Presidency. Background: The Halliburton Loophole was created to allow corporations to subvert laws that protect the environment. Since this loophole exempts fracking, fracking has effectively changed from an illegal to legal practice. The BLM no longer has authority to carry out its mission because our seven major environmental laws no longer apply to fracking, so the BLM cannot enforce these laws. The Halliburton Loophole has succeeded in subverting laws that made fracking illegal. The BLM is, in fact, upholding the law by authorizing fracking on public lands. BLM’s mission has been altered by the Halliburton Loophole. The Halliburton Loophole has neutralized the BLM’s power to regulate fracking. BLM may now protect the environment as long as these protections do not impinge on business practices.

It has no more of a footprint than a water well. Stop acting like it is harmful. You are probably getting paid by OPEC to keep the prices up. Fracking is cheap and produces oil at a fraction of the cost and drives pump prices way down to where they should be .89 -.99 cents a gallon.
