Anonymous Coward User ID: 25215275 United States 02/12/2015 09:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With More Earthquakes Than California, Oklahoma Pays A High Price For Cheap Oil Cheap oil and bad water A few years ago companies figured out how to drill sideways, through layers of shale, then break, or frack, the rock, releasing a torrent of oil. It sparked a massive oil boom in Oklahoma, and lowered oil and gasoline prices across the country. But the process generates much more water than oil, tens of billions of gallons of very salty, carcinogenic, water. Austin Holland, state seismologist states, “This is not water that we want pumped out onto the surface of the earth, or can even treat easily. The only economical way to get rid of all that toxic soup is to force it deep into the earth. That pressure acts as a lubricant, it’s not actually the water itself, but the pressure, and the best way to think about that is an air hockey table." Blocks of rock would be the hockey pucks, using Holland’s example. The idea is that injecting water near faults can deliver just enough lubricating pressure to set big slabs in motion. The results can be catastrophic. GREAT ARTICLE...SAD REALITY! [link to kcur.org] |
