San Diego less vulnerable to, but not free of, fracking

What do you mean "we" Bauder? Are you not a reporter or are you one of her sycophants repeating without checking the facts everything she says. She made many statements that are flat lies and I already pointed out such to you but you persist in apologies for her. Not what I would call professional reporting sir. good day yourself.

San Diego less vulnerable to, but not free of, fracking

Listen Bauder - I have no animus against your subject, just when she, or anyone else, submits lies instead of facts, hyperbole instead of reality and presumptions instead of conclusions backed by hard science and hard evidence. What you should have gotten from my comments reporter man is simply there is much more than what your subject de jour is stating, and maybe next time you can find an unbiased and truly objective scientist (geologist, geophysicist, petroleum reservoir engineer, etc) if you really care about this subject. She is not even is the right field to discuss this topic in the first place, but then you would have known that if you had done your homework. As to your imbecilic video, natural gas associated with water wells have been known for thousands of years, and there are plenty of them on the East Coast. Just research that topic as well, along with documentaries that debunk your propaganda. Good day sir.

The photo shot is of long matured area in Kern Bluff, adjacent to Bakersfield and can been seen from Panorama Drive. There is NO pollution associated with this picture, nothing on the ground and nothing in the air - if there was - the Operators would be locked up, even in an "oil town." Most of the frac jobs occurred several years ago, and were done in the giant Belridge field. You cannot tell the difference between a fraced well and a regular producer once the job is over. This is a good example of biased misinformation from a left leaning liberal that has apparently thrown all of her science out of the window to push her progressive ideology, no matter about the truth at all. Go to Frac Focus.com to learn more about the process and you will see why folks like me that know something about this get so dang upset when so-called "experts" promote politics and not science.

I did read her statements carefully as it appears you failed to read my comment. I know several "distinguished" scientists as to academic achievement that still can't find their arse from a hole in the ground. I complain when I see lies passed off as facts on the ground. I can introduce you to other Cal Tech grads, as well as CO School of Mines that will trash most, if not all her predicates as biased and liberal mush. Read what the battery of scientists that work for the EPA concluded, and they spent four long years to try to find anything negative...and they failed. That seems to not have impressed her one bit, or she is so far biased she can't help but repeat long discredited anti-energy nonsense. Your pick, intellectual dishonesty or pure laziness.

This is December 2017 and what is being reported is pure unbridled nonsense. The “expert” is a liberal suck-up with zero credibility, based upon her assertions which are manifest lies and hyperbolic conclusions designed to promote activists agendas. Ms. Peill-Moelter has decided to ignore real facts and chosen to repeat eco terrorist blather that continue to traffic in slander and deceit. Outfits like Center for Biological Diversity, which is 99% funded by a few guilt ridden trust fund babies like Teresa Heinz, The Tides Group and that sycophant Larry Rockefeller whose agendas have nothing to do with environmental issues. The EPA spent four years giving the petroleum industry the longest running proctology exam in history and found zero instances in 70 years where hydraulic fracturing contaminated any groundwater – ever. The earthquakes in OK were all caused in a few select areas by waste water increased volumes from all types of wells – which have been mitigated now. The industry uses chemicals in frac jobs, like solvents, that are the same stuff you find under your sinks, which is just .05% of the volume (the rest is sand and water) and stating arsenic is a flat lie from her. Your stomach has stronger fruit acids than what is used in a frac job. The size of the hole generated by any frac job, usually two miles below rock strata, is the size of two sand grains – that is it! There are no oil and gas wells in San Diego County. I could go on and destroy almost every predicate she maintains, but my point is this article does nothing to help a reader with objective facts and is simply a political hit piece based upon nothing but fantasy and lies. The readers of this paper deserve truth not lies.
