As you all know Hydraulic fracturing for stimulation of oil was first used commercially by Halliburton in 1949. Swift boating was first used by Carl Rove and the RNC to narrowly defeat John Kerry in the Presidential election of 2004. The Fremont Citizen Network went on to Swift Boat professional baseball coming to Fremont in 2008. We were all made chumps of in 2008 and as a result Fremont has become a city that no reasonable developer is willing to invest in. Remember this my brothers and sisters when you vote in the next election.

TI: I agree that fracking is not well regulated, the folks in PA are starting to fight back. I’m figuring CNG is still better than oil from over-seas, we can work on regulating the extraction process if it is done here in the States.

T.Boone Pickins says that the Fracking process used to get at the natural gas stashed in shale is harmless.
He’s wrong.
Fracking is bad,
and I think as of yet, unregulated.

I think Mad Fish is over-priced even when they have their half off deal.

I’m getting a Civic GX later this week, pity I can’t specify my CNG come from non-fracked wells. Of course, most of our electricity around here is from natural gas too, as well as our heating, so we’re all using it for something.

May I advocate the cheap and wonderful $8.00 sushi at the Irvington Farmer’s Market or the reasonably priced sushi at Akadai? — Vastly superior to either Mad Fish location.

Re #1 Marty, you didn’t finish.

…costing 4 bucks, while they are drinking a 16 ounce plastic bottle of water which they just paid $1.50 for as they fill the tank on their SUV.

Fracking sounds like an obscene word.

Fracking is an abominable process that causes irreparable harm to the areas it is put into use. Disgusting. Companies who tend to “over-wring the sponge” will be the ones you find using this procedure. Utter destruction to produce just slightly more oil/natgas…

There was an outstanding piece on fracking in Arkansas last week on Nightline. Fracking is actually causing earthquakes throughout this section of Arkansas – worth watching – Bob is right on track.
