I repeat my new mantra above.
And it all started when Jerry Brown was sworn in. :P
So, a company cannot add a hidden "research and developement fee" to the price at the pump? They are regulated the same way as milk? Are you serious? Why are they in business if it is so unfair? Exxon Mobil was the most profitable company IN THE WORLD. Why wouldn't they jump ship and invest in several pharmaceutical and soft drink operations?
with tarnished beach front.....
Ohhhh. Don't tell californians that..... They think they are the cleanest state around.

the problem with the shale is that it costs alot more money, and takes alot more effort then standard drilling. It's also ALOT more dangerous, because what "fracking" is, is basically pumping thousands and thousands of PSI down into the well hole and "fracturing" the rock so that the oil can be released. I find it very difficult to believe that it is any more destructive then standard drilling. How come i dont see any of you tree huggers crying when tornados/floods/volcanoes/other natural disasters destroy hundreds of thousands of acres and cost billions of dollars in damage annually? shouldnt you be protesting the weather god or something? the weather causes far more damage then any manmade operation ever could hope to. OH! thats right, the weather could care less what you think, so you cry to us fellow humans.

Hydraulic fracturing is also used in subsurface bioremediation efforts on forcing remaining DNAPL (Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquid) contaminants out of porous or semi-porous rocks beneath the ground through various processes.
That's not stopping the oil companies since they are still making money that way using the new technology. The Bakken oil fields of North Dakota fracking is being done. I know about "fracking."
