In the U.K. there is a big ridiculous row over this well concealed gas well in Balcombe, that the Balcombe Parish Council didn’t even object to when Cuadrilla’s application for planning permission to drill for shale gas went before them.
The noise being made by the anti-frackers in America is equally ridiculous, they can’t even protest the right well sites. “The protesters do not seem concerned with such details”

Given the recent protests about Fracking, I thought some cartoons on the subject might be a good idea.
Suggestions for further Fract Sheets are very welcome!

It is funny, but could also show the paved road that brings in the many transport trucks a day bring water and other “fluids” to (and from) the site as well as a drained lake (or aquifer) to supply the process. It could also show the “waste ponds” to contain the toxic effluent.
But then the comedy would admittedly be much darker…
A delightful Fox hunt, enjoy…
A lot of times ideas could be exceptionally wonderful; sometimes having the idea is where discover comes from.
In the spirit of the age of amorphous info i include this funny cartoon…
This gave me a warm fuzzy that i had to share; that’s my commitment to focusing on integrity!

It’s funny, but I did notice that the Single Shale Well does not produce electricity. The power plant should be included for a fair comparison.

Absolutely.
Let’s include all of the land from well to power generation.
Take one ng well
estimate the number of electrical power plants it could support
and calculate watts per acre.
The we match the power from wind mills.
calculate all the land needed to generate the same power.
Just for the fun of it we could include animal kills per acre.

Is there any effect from slowing down the wind?
kadaka: I did not even see that double entendre in my last post. So, I will do the only sensible thing, and beat a hasty and graceless retreat….
Dear Bloke down the pub,
I’m a member of the Co-operative Society too; it’s one of the many institutions that (formal and informal – the local pub is one of the latter) make British democracy what it is. Living in Mexico, I can’t exercise my membership so easily; but, please, don’t abandon it. Democracy and democratic institutions make mistakes, get temporarily hijacked by fads, or simply respond to a perceived ‘consensus’. The Co-operative Society and its associated businesses and bank do many good things, and try to adopt an ethical stance on issues. For me, they get it more or less right on many issues. Don’t bail out, on one issue, get in there if you can and debate it. If the critical and positive thinkers leave an organisation, who’s left? Seriously, a friendly comment.
