I am on the fence. Is there any hard evidence one way or the other about contaminating ground water?
There are already many examples of ground water contamination wherever it has been done.
In the long term, after the profit has been extracted, the mining companies will distance themselves from the leftover mess with a series of ownership manoeuvres. The clean up will become a public problem.
Moreover the last thing this warming planet needs is more stuff to burn.
the penalties that are imposed are mere slaps on the wrist, and do nothing to reverse the damage - because the damage is irreversible.
I may have missed it, but all I read is opinions. I am looking for hard facts, so that I can make up my mind. (Groundwater) Not oil spills.
I don't think the position can be mounted that the facts prove that vaccinating poses zero risk. The dr that first raised the alarm has been discredited, but what is really SURE in this world? Not that I think they're right, mind you, but all kinds of arguments can be raised - from the one that (rightly) stems from a general distrust of "Big Brother", meaning big pharm, the government, and down to your local doctor. The guy just prescribed me 2 medicines to treat my bronchitis and neither one is doing diddly squat - just like they did diddly squat the last time. So I don't trust these meds but I'm taking them.I think it's foolhardy not to vaccinate children, but I can't disprove that there is any danger with facts.
Hydrogen has this amazing property to compress, almost infinitesimally. So, when trying push Hydrogen down a pipeline, it just compresses and goes nowhere with out a huge infrastructure cost...
