It’s official: the LNG fuel cycle (natural gas / fracking) is 33% worse than coal for climate change. 

It’s official: LNG fuel cycle is 33% more destructive than coal. This should be being screamed from the rooftops of every nuclear advocate. 

This is a Cornell University study used to determine the GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS impact “ONLY.” This doesn’t research the acute health effects caused by millions of people in the United States and globally who breathe in, drink, or are topically exposed to ozone, benzine, methane, mercury, dioxins, NORM, and other known carcinogens, neuro-toxins and poisons that are EXEMPT from the the clean-air act, the clean-water act, the SuperFund act, and a dozen other keystone environmental health regulations. 

I personally believe the morality of killing children and elderly the respiratory disease and the increasing rates of cancer found in correlation with the “shale fracking revolution” is a much more serious matter.. and I say that knowing that the existential threat posed by climate disruption to could end organized civilization in less than a century.

A lot of the utilities here in the U.S. that have PWRs and BWRs in their portfolio also have a lot of fracking and LNG.. but it’s time to be vocal.. to educate.. to organize.. to act.. until the public-pressure builds to the point where they are proud to announce the planned closure of their natural-gas cycle peaker plants and infrastructure, while embracing the public demand for safe and reliable modern nuclear technology.. but if that reality is to come to fruition, if preventing asthma and neuro-myopathy, lymphoma and leukemia in children and people in the Pennsylvania forests, Colorado plateau, East-Texas tall-grass and every other state (pollution knows no borders) and around the world is surely enough.. if the existential threat to human civilization from green-house gas emissions is surely enough.. 

…but what is not enough - is those of us with the heads and hearts to understand the context and solution ☢️ to this problem is we need to educate, organize, act a HELL of A LOT more than we are already doing in order to force the conversation and public consciousness. Almost every positive change in history takes place, not because of the benevolence of power but because of the reluctant acceptance by power of the public pressure to do the right thing. Solar and wind technology are crucial, but only the reliability, acute safety and chronic long-term climate safety of energy reliability, which will be needed to end most of the synthesized petro-chemical revolution and current agriculture-hydrocarbon intersections NEED an abundance of non-intermittent electricity to make easy. There is simply nothing more misunderstood than the economic, safety and record of nuclear technology.. but it’s all being replaced with gas under the fossil fuel corporation lie that “it’s greener” 

We need to stop it and embrace the correct energy portfolio..or our neighbors will get sicker and our great grand children will inherit a biosphere destroyed in totality for human life and organized civilization.

Cornell Study confirms: Fracking & Natural Gas fuel cycle is 33% worse than coal

The Township is trying to show this down the residents throats. Saying there is nothing we can do to stop it. The permits with the DEP have not been filed yet. Most of the housing communities here have been built on abandoned coal mines. 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this, or any legal resources we can call. TIA.

New to fracking and e-frac applications: wondering if there was a list for some of the terminology that is used in the field, specifically what they are referring to. Examples:
ASF (all shots fired)
Pulsed
Equalizing
1000’ surface
1000’ to MJ
On Flush
Shut in Wells

Etc, etc.

I am thinking of moving to a house 3/4 a mile away from a small scale LGN storage plant.it is not downwind.  I cannot find online if there are similar long term health risk as fracking operations. If anyone has insight on this matter I’d really appreciate it.

 as representative for the Salt Fork BF Clan. As of yet no one from ODNR or any of it's subsidiary councils have done not  anything..even suggested an environmental impact study.  They are getting anxious, and that don't look good on a squatch.

I know I'm lazy and I apologise but I ptomise I have reasons. TL:DR the forum first but would really appreciate someone with some knowledge of fracking to tell me if this post in the image is accurate, somewhat accurate, or completely misinformed please?
