And yeah lol at Trump strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia. What a joke.

Oh dear Zander is here.

Let me get clear though, that I don't intend to argue in favour of Trump; by no means do I think he's a good president.

 

That said, I do think he's not acting out of self-interest. If he were doing that, he would have been better off with what he was doing before and I don't have any idea how I should call it in English. He may be very wrong on a lot of points, but he does believe that he's doing the best for the USA. There have been more very bad leaders for countries who believed they were doing the best for the country though.

 

 

Yikes.

 

I'm too tired to keep chatting but I think you're very, very, very misguided on that one.

 

Maybe I am. I try not to get closely involved because that just makes me feel like the world is doomed.

This would also be the only time Id WANT VOTES ON ME!!!!!

 

lolololololol

 

Excluding when you're jester.

Well, fracking is important, but it doesn't have to do with coal... A lot with oil though. Fracking certainly creates toxic products like benzene (which can indeed cause cancer) but the products from fracking are typically used again, as the whole purpose of fracking is to get useful 'building blocks', so to say, for the industry.

 

But yeah, neither of those approaches is gonna works well.

 

(I do believe the USA should fking abort relations with Saudi-Arabia though, as they fund terrorists all across the Middle-East... But yeah, oil...)

 

Fracking is a big deal in Pennsylvania.

 

It's become a huge industry here over the past 15 years or so.

 

As I understand it, the procedure is imprecise and leaves a lot of underground leaks into water etc.

 

We get a lot of local news stories where Joe the Farmer can throw a match into the creek running through his property and it keeps on burning.

 

It's almost completely untaxed and unregulated here and doesn't really create many jobs either.

 

Marcellus Shale finances a lot of the political campaigns in my state.

 

They actually sponsored one candidate who won on an anti-fracking ticket. You can bet what he did when he got into office. Took a lot of vacations.

 

That's really the root of our drinking water issues here. At least, that's what the common perception is.

 

Donald Trump's reaction to further deregulate water pollution in general might not have actually have a negative consequence. I don't know the science and the specifics. But he's made it very clear that he's going to go out of his way to prevent any attempt to fix the problem.

 

 

Just realized I've been messing up fracking and cracking...

 

I don't know a whole lot about fracking, I'm afraid...

[Leyrann]

And yeah lol at Trump strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia. What a joke.

 

Wait, I didn't even know that.

 

Sigh... Politics...

[Leyrann]

Anyways, g'night and don't have too many politics-related nightmares.

[BFG]

Heh if you want to talk about fracking etc I'd be up for it sometime :p

 

But probably best just continue with regular spam

[BFG]

The toxic waste from burning coal will be the byproducts left from burning. I think The American water pollution debate is to do with how navigatable water is defined (basically how isolated the water is, problem being that what's isolated in a dry season isn't the same as in a wet season, and its these occasionally connected waterways that are no longer protected. In theory all major waterways are still protected and that probably won't change

[Leyrann]

So basically, if we get some more climate change (because it also gets wetter), the problem solves itself?

[Leyrann]

(sorry)

[BFG]

Lol,

 

none facetiously it would depend on how the climate gets wetter, if its a case of a little more rain on more days then yes, if its a case of more violent events then no because of the way water ways are managed now. Result will be more flooding, not more water in the reservoirs type thing

[BFG]

I'm also not American and may be misunderstanding the issue

[Leyrann]

Lol,

True that.

I actually had this idea recently of artifically constructing photosynthesis to take all excess CO2 from the air and turn it into graphite and O2. According to my calculations it would only equal a layer of 8 mm C on all of the planet, which is actually so "little" that you could probably store it somewhere or something.

maybe we could just plant trees

[BFG]

I like plants :)

I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOOT EH?!?!??!!!?!

[Leyrann]

Artifically made would probably be a lot more efficient though, as you can just keep going and on top of that you need less infrastructure around it.

[LedZepMan]

I am not a leftist. I am not a rightist. I am an advocate of rational non-corrupt government guided by the ideal of putting forth its best effort to benefit the people it represents.

That will never, in all the possible futures we can create, happen. And you know it. The people who want the power will rise while the people who care for others wellbeing will fall.

[LedZepMan]

And irt fracking, I believe a few things, as I was once part of that industry.

 

1. When your wellbore has been sufficiently cased, and psi tested, there is 0% chance of drilling fluid oozing out into your water table. Oil wells are designed to be sealed off in iron and concrete well below the water table.

 

2. In direct opposition to #1, things break down. So a bi- annual casing psi test is a good idea, especially on a well that is going to be re visited by a rig or a frac crew. But, alas, that costs $ and is not the case.

 

3. I have a ?. Where are your water tables respectively < or > than 100 ft. Below ground? Because we frac ALOT out west, and we have no ground water contamination at all. Closest water case I've heard is Flint Michigan.

 

4. I do believe frac'ing will be the cause of significant bedrock, tectonic plate deterioration, and thus likening the inevitable eruption of my local neighborhood planet killer. Jellystone.
