I wonder if Duke will present this study to our states policy makers, or if they would even read it, or give a :poop:....................................I doubt it, all they care about is how much $$$$$$$$ they can make from it, not the damage it will do to our state's groundwater,streams and rivers- (wildlife). I'm sure anyone who is involved in this endevor and the officials implementing/promoting it will get rich if it happens here.
 
Damn right they'll get rich ....or richer. And all the negative stuff you read about fracking doesn't happen everywhere. I have friends in pa that have had this happening on their properties for years without issues. I wonder how many people know if they own the mineral rights under there house??? ;)

What Duke wants, they will get. Don't forget McCrory spent 28 years with them.

When you start a debate, make sure that facts and the truth are not part of it.
 
Don't believe everything you read.
If fracking is outlawed lots of folks in wnc gonna be thirsty
 
It says a lot that the CEO of Exxon Mobil doesn't want it in his back yard.

Exxon Mobil CEO: No fracking near my backyard

8:28 AM, February 24, 2014
Exxon Mobil's CEO has joined a lawsuit to stop construction of a water tower near his home that would be used to in the fracking process to drill for oil.

While fracking -- hydraulic fracturing of rock to release pockets of oil -- has raised complaints from environmentalists around the country, Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson's opposition to a project in his own neighborhood is interesting, given how deeply Exxon Mobil is involved in the process.

Tillerson appeared at a Town Council meeting in Bartonville, Tex., the wealthy enclave near his Dallas home last November to join in the protest over the water tower, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The lawsuit contends the project would create "a noise nuisance and traffic hazards." Trucks would be needed to haul and pump water.

The tower, being built by Cross Timbers Water Supply, would rise 15 stories, the Journal says. It's adjacent to Tillerson's 83-acre horse ranch and not far from an 18-acre homestead. Tillerson is devoting considerable time to the matter: he sat for three hours in the lawsuit last May and attended an all-day mediation session in September, besides his Town Council appearance.

Among the others opposing the project are those who are not exactly known for environmental crusading: former U.S.House Majority Leader Dick Armey and his wife are the lead plaintiffs.

An Exxon Mobil spokesman contacted by the Journal said that the suit is Tillerson's own matter and the oil giant "has no involvement in the legal matter."

Either way, I doubt Duke Energy will dare get involved in anything potentially environmentally unsound for a while at least until the coal ash spill(s) get cleaned up and people have had a chance to forget about it.

I mean, who needs clean drinking water when we have cheap energy?!?!?!?!
 
This has been discussed before. Fracking has been going on before half of you were born. I personally did a report in school back in the early 80's. My mom owns the mineral rights to her well in wv. Get cold mother f&$@kers, she just makes more $$. Oh, by the way guess who inherits those rights no matter who buys the property...
 
I swear its like people are scared they are going to hit hell and unleash the devil.

Here is a clue...everyone West of Asheville already knows.
When you get up in the Mountains you can't drill wells very deep with a conventional drill without destroying lots of bits. Aqua hydro fracking goes on regularly...its often called water jet welling.

This is much ado about nothing
 
.......4 years later....I have not heard or read a word about fracking here. Is it being done in secret? Has anyone got rich or know someone who did from selling their land rights to the gas co.? anybody seen any testing/drilling rigs/crews?......what happened to all these fracken frackers???

Gas prices. Costs more than it's worth right now to frack.

i've got some friends in the well drilling business, they frack a well at least twice a week. that said they say the process for fracking for water is different than what they would be doing for minerals/oil/gases. i have no clue what the differences are just going off what he told me.

Side note, a man that helped design and perfect the technique of fracking for oil owns a house in WNC and its a big one lol
 
The Mountain Valley Pipeline is going through my Mom's valley in Southwest VA and is currently under construction. The Atlantic Coast pipeline is going through VA and Eastern NC. 42 inch LNG pipeline out to the coast (Chesapeake?), possibly for export? I had heard that they're only expecting 10 years of LNG from the shale fracking in the origin area (West Virginia?), so if that's the case then the profit must be huge to amortize the pipeline cost.

We're on vacation this week so my Mom has been filling me in on all of this. They're freaked out because everyone in the valley has well water.
