article said the water coming out of the well was containede by trenches. Didn't see were it made it to any creek.

More than likely would not have made the news if the mess in Gulf was not occuring!

Already a thread on this subject in the Outdoors Issues forum.

Things are gonna happen. Theres just no way around it. A couple bad things are sure to happen, and a lot of excellent things will happen. For instance, a lot of folks who have never had a dollar in life, are going to get to a live a little. A lot of folks without good jobs, are going to get hired and make decent money. We are going to open up a new source of energy here in the states and have the opportunity to reduce a little of our dependence on foreign oil. We are going to have a source of energy that will result in an end profit for AMERICA, AND NOT THE MIDDLE EAST. It doesnt solve our problems, but it may help long term.

Yes, there will be the occassional accident. and it stinks. But you gotta take the good with the bad.

This is life. Things do happen and always will. These people who want everything perfect are living in a make believe world. Do we want accidents?? No way, but Humans screw up and always will. We must just do the best we can.

Let them screw it up in your back yard not mine.

 

[1trueamerican]

how exactly did they "screw up" your back yard?

although they think a small amount made it to a stream, there appeared to be no adverse affects to the stream...for all practical purposes it was contained to the well pad.

 

[FrankDegamma]

NIMBYs and NIAOBYs. Alarmists too.... the way I see it, it didnt make it into the stream and didnt cause an environmental catastrophe...the system worked.

Accidents happen and I agree with O'Hara...Penna has a chance to move forward with vast expansion of economic development. The companies that do it right will be here long after the problem children are shut down. People need to accept the gas industry. Buzzsaw, the good news is that Penna is a right to capture and a right to pool state. you need to read up on that.
