Nevertheless, do not get complacent as the total amount of liquid can range from 1 million to 8 million gallons.

If we take the lower figure this would mean that there are 800 gallons of petroleum distillate. The benzene

level would therefore, have an amount equivalent to 140,000 times the Environmental Protection Agency safe

level.

It seems you might have to make a choice between clean drinkable water or poisonously extracted gas/oil now that the noxious hydrolic fracking “technology” is up to the job, and you wont have any of those pesky environmentalists getting in the way now that the gas n oil “industry” are exempt from the clean water act.

Yeah it is scary how accurate William’s predictions have been.

This is very interesting to me. I’ve read several articles lately about how much oil is in North America, between Canada with it’s Oil Sands and the US with it’s Oil Shale. In fact, I’ve heard that the largest of our Oil Shale deposits puts us in the same league with Saudi Arabia for reserves – and we have the technology now to get it out at an affordable price. I’ve also heard that the environmental nuts have such a hold on this administration that we have not gone after any of it yet, and have been trying to slow Canada down on it’s Oil Sands processing and associated oil pipeline into this country. So are we really serious about getting off of ME oil? I don’t think so. Hell, I’ve been looking at the history of the South Bay section of SoCal recently – every picture from the mid 50s back shows the landscape around South Bay (Redondo Beach/Torrance/Manhattan Beach ect.) just covered with Oil Wells. That tells me that we still have a crap load of oil here – off shore. And we’ve never even been able to look into that. This South Bay native would like to see us start drilling out there.
