That's to be applauded, because last time I checked, it takes approximately an entire career lifespan to become adequately knowledgable in just one of those subjects. I tell you what - let's start at the basics.... once you learn how to spell, then go ahead and post a comment regarding any of the above topics. If you can't spell, or at least get a half-way decent spell check going, chances are you don't have the capacity to comment on something that intertwines politics, energy, natural resources, biology, conservation, and the effects of toxicity, all of which are independently fairly complicated. Spelling on the other hand... well, that's something that should've been mastered by the 3rd or 4th grade. And if you can't get spelling, grammar, and use of basic 3rd grade punctuation down-pat, you should really think about leaving technical evaluations of aquifer contamination and impacts from external interventions to someone who at least knows how to spell. - Al Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:40:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8797-save-lake-peigneur-fight-still-bubbling#comment-20612 Obviously you're in the "business" but haven't done your homework. These natural gas storage caverns (which they want to create 20 storage caverns eventually in Lake Peigneur)are storing to distribute every where except here.... Our Chicot Aquifer (our only source of drinking water) needs to be protected; it will be contaminated and depleted...FACT!!! I'm not willing to trade, end of story! "Becca" is on target; Thanks!! - To "And the award goes too...."

There are folks who can cook with the tap in their kitchen sink, or their shower spray, so hard-case uncompassionate couillion, a million bbls. of OIL is not worth an unnatural speedy demise for anyone. We can have both, Oil and clean uncontaminated Aquifers, """ there are alternative frac fluids, all these dumbass engineers need to do is to look around and amass what the creator haS PLACED HERE ON EARTH FOR US TO USE. There are bio-degradable NATURAL FLUIDS NOT PRODUCED BY THE CHEMICAL CONGLOMERATES. A COUILLION AWOKE ONE DAY WITH NEWLY DISCOVERED KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CREATOR, GAVE US A NATURAL FERTILIZER FOR OUR CROPS AND GARDENS, THE RECYCLING OF ANIMAL WASTE.... WHY NOT HUMAN WASTE, BC. COUILLION, HUMANS CONSUME SO MANY CHEMICALS, from TOXIC ADDITIVES, that human waste would kill every acre of crops and maters in the garden with all the toxic chemicals added to our foods. Every thing we do in this life on this planet is thru the Creator's grace, and for every problem we ourselfs create for everyone, he has a solution for us, just look around, couillion......Think about this, just because we have discovered toxins and produce them, we do not have to ingest them, and just because we discovered how to build bombs and chemical weapons, it does not mean we have to kill other humans with them...We are mis-using all that the Creator has blessed us with, all that he has placed at our disposal, we turn and use it to kill others and poison ourselves, AND OUR BROTHER'S. I GUESS YOU ARE IN THE OIL iNDUSTRY, AND the award goes to, tell me" Has a Schlumberger Logging Engineer, ever warned you that The Tracer Returns material they were using downhole was radioactive, and dangerous to your health, and to leave the area/ Rig Floor......Or did they keep it quiet so no-one would be alarmed, and then they would want to abandon the RIG....A common practice, don't alarm the working peeps and production is never halted.

If the "RIGHT TO LIFE REALLY MATTERED, our government's medidical scientists would not have profusely infected the population with the " Cancer cells and the AIDs Virus. Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that out of the clear bluesky the cancer cells and the aids virus materialized, Think about this, how much the " MEDICAL PROFESSION has profited, and now why can't the designers of these cells now design a cure for these deseases, " when these cells were originated by man why can't,(WON'T)man design a cure for these two human killers. Duh because the Medical Profession would lose billions of dollars and the government would lose trillions of dollars each year, and the population would increase and the elderly would increase, and put a whammy on "SOCIAL SECURITY, The Red Man did't contact cancer from smoking Tobacco, " Until he put down his pipe and his homegrown tobacco, and the RED MAN began smoking the R.J.

Maybe someone should dump a couple truck loads of beano in that water. - Your Sisters Crab Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:56:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8797-save-lake-peigneur-fight-still-bubbling#comment-20585 My geologist husband informed me that fracking is not necessary in South Louisiana because oil comes primarily from sands. But, AGL Resources plans to expand its Jefferson Island Storage & Hub facility at Lake Peigneur to bring natural gas from not only all over the region, but from all over the country to be stored in the salt domes until the price of natural gas rises. This means that the expansion this year, will be followed by more expansions in future years to accomodate all the natural gas coming in. If a 14 inch drill bit can cause the lake to drain into the salt domes because of a miscalculation, what other mistakes can occur once the cavities are filled with natural gas, because of mistakes. The sole source Chicot Aquifer serves 15 parishes in south and southwest Louisiana. There is no other source of potable water, and Louisiana alike other areas is in a severe drought. If that drought moves east from Texas, we will be looking at more rationing just to drink water. While, this company takes our clean potable water supply for the storage of natural gas. This does not make sense! Other states are allowing fracking for natural gas. Fracking contaminates water wells. Where is the water that the Chicot may need down the line. Fracking contaminated water is not drinkable, nor can the chemicals be reduced. There are no standards partially because of the Halliburton loophole which exempt fracking from the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water laws compliments of former President Bush and Halliburton executive Dick Cheney from protecting public health and the US EPA is forbidden from taking action. Only states can take action. We need clean water more than the natural gas industry needs an expanded natural gas facility. - Becca Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:24:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8797-save-lake-peigneur-fight-still-bubbling#comment-20552 There are not 20 parishes who depend upon water from the sole source Chicot Aquifer. The number is actually 15. And these 15 will be affected with the potential of contaminated drinking water if this project goes through. This is because as more water is drawn from the Chicot, the background level of arsenic will become greater is the remaining water and will affect more people with this carcinogen. Additionally, the frackling fluids used to bring natural gas to the surface are highly toxic and are not regulated under the Clean Water or Safe Drinking Water laws. Former President Bush and Halliburton's CEO, Vice President Cheney exempted the oil and natural gas industry from the Safe Drinking Water laws and PROHIBITED the U.S. EPA from taking action to write regulations to protect public health. Frackling fluids are extremely toxic and many like glycols cannot be reduced with either a carbon filter and/or Reverse Osmosis which leaves everyone at risk from drinking contaminated waste, while the natural gas industry takes our cleaner waters. If the right to life really matters, this project just be stopped, because it will injure potential mothers and their fetuses, as will as other family members forever. - Becca Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:18:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8797-save-lake-peigneur-fight-still-bubbling#comment-20551 There are 15 parishes that are served by the Chicot Aquifer --not 20. But, for those of us who are served, this is a sole source aquifer...no other aquifers enter the Chicot area, and once it becomes totally contaminated (and natural gas might just do it in because of frackling fluids, that's all there is folks. Recall, fracking fluids have been exempted under the Halliburton loophole by former President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, a CEO of Halliburton. The exemption is from the clean water and safe drinking water laws. If fracking is so safe why is it exempted from the law. The answer is it is not safe, buildings have exploded, faults have shifted causing earth quakes, and many wells have been contaminated wherever fracking has occurred. The U.S. Supreme Court mandated that the EPA regulate fracking, and before regulations were written, Bush and Cheney exempted fracking from the very laws which is the U.S. Supreme Court mandated that the process be regulated under to protect clean drinking water. Hence, the process is not safe. It's just a safe bet that officials have been paid off to make this happen. The U.S. EPA says that while they are prohibited under the Halliburton amendment from taking action, that states can take action. Only an involved electorate can reduce the damage to public health from fracking and movement through our sole source aquifer from natural gas. Recall, natural gas is cleaner burning that coal. But if the cradle to grave figures are added in from fracking to entering the homes of consumers and industry, this is not a cleaner or safer fuel. If the right to life really matters, this project should be stopped! - Becca Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:05:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8797-save-lake-peigneur-fight-still-bubbling#comment-20534 Could it be the CO2 from left over beer?
