<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>Who is the wacko? Those who want to move cautiosly and safely environmentally or otherwise or those who want ot unabashadly make money at any cost putting envorinmental and other safety concers aside? I live in the Marcellus Shale area. In some places water naturally contains enough methane to ignite. SInce Hydro Fracturing drilling has occured there has been an increase in methane in water...incidenltyh that means the water will ignite. So we've made progress in determining the cause of the excessive amount of methane and know that we shouldn't drill until we have solved the problem. Or isn't that progress? We should keep drilling despite what dangers we know. And we also know other pollutants have been brought into the ecosystem with this. And that the roads and other infrastructure have been damaged if not demolished because of the drilling. Progress is where? In the drilling for gas at any expense? In the ceasing of drilling until known fixes are applied? I guess the question is progress the making of money by drilling? I say no. Is it by the making of money drilling safely? I say yes. This is a good arguement to get into in that it argues minutia by mincing words instead of addressing the problem itself. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Henry,</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">What does gas fracking have to do with the California lawsuit to prevent diesel exhaust emissions?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to me that you are making up your own winnable argument and using it to counter those who argue that the California lawsuit to ban diesel exhaust is unreasonable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the California suit has merit and represents progress, as you say, then certainly its reasoning applies to all railroad operations in the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would also apply to all trucking as well as construction and mining earthmoving.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </span></span></p>
