I don't understand all this fracking fracking. 
Seven Big Failed Environmentalist Predictions
Sort:
It will end fracking itself.
Also, there are huge reserves of oil at the Poles. We only need to remove all that fracking ice, quickly!

It's a way to get oil out of the shale deposits under our feet kayak. Blackpool would be reduced to rubble with this process, but hey... a small price to pay.
When I went to Blackpool I thought it WAS rubble. ;)

Could someone please put up a graph to make sense of all this?

Would the oil be frozen? Could we store it in the freezer?
Thanks ConstrictorKnot.......Now I understand. :)
Mine is full of octopus.
I meant, my freezer!

Blackpool is class extraordinaire.. You can buy a plastic strap-on bum there, with a rubber, you know what, coming out of the back of it. Don't know about you kayak, but it makes one proud to be British.
Yea, I know. I bought one. ;)

We thought it was your strap-on bum. ;)
At least is smooth.

what the?? what in tarnation is going on in here? lol For weeks we maybe get one maybe two posts per day on this thread...

And Syd... its only blatantly bleeding obvious to those who buy into the hype that man is totally repsonsible for global warming ...
so there! :P

In the Canary Islands they sell things to help you get an all over tan in the sun. I mean ALL OVER, well more like down under.

It wasn't me, I didn't do it. My last car had a potato stuck up the exhaust pipe. ;)

Not as smooth as mine, lol ;)
I was meaning the octopus again!
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is almost as old as the oil industry itself. In the old days, they had open holes and used to drop dynmaite down induces fractures in the oil bearing formation. It is by no means a "last gasp."
Ummm...no. How do you hydraulically fracture a formation with dynamite?
You've got all the science degrees, you must understand hydraulics.
Without a medium (hydraulic fluid if you prefer) and pressure, you can't hydraulically fracture.
The idea can be traced back to just after the second WW, but the actual practice was impossible before the huge technological advances in directional drilling that occurred in the early aughts.
Certainly, though, it isn't the "last gasp" in man's quest for oil.
