Oh yes. No problem - people who watch that stuff probably should kill themselves ...
We tried to watch one of them - herself wanted "something light and brain out" - and gave up after about 10 ~ 15 minutes.

AI is somehow software which sometimes contains bugs. So it may buggy too. 
I hope the error handling is correct else sometimes a nuclear war may start

AI is far behind natural stupidity when it comes to that, at least at the moment.

Same thing that happens when humans get hacked. We teach them to drive for 25 hours. Then we give them the wheel. There is some margin for error. And then there are some errors too.

That is a shame. The utter selfishness of not wanting fossil fuel extraction in your own area, despite the fact these complainers use fossil fuels is an extreme form of hypocrisy.

Well, I think it is a reaction on the problems caused by gas extraction in Groningen (north of the Netherlands), peoples houses are sinking into the ground and tearing apart ...
|
|

|

That is probably a good reason not to!
I guess the gas must be in shallow pockets for that to happen.

I feel your pain.
Hopefully, they open a sewage treatment plant on one side of your dwelling . . . and a garbage dump on the other.
You certainly create sewage and garbage - so why not live amongst it?*

I use the old river bed at the back of the house for that.

Got one already, fosse septique and soakaway, though I am thinking of a microstation.

A really cool side effect is turning on your water tap and, after striking a match, using it for cooking and as a night light!

Thats fracking, not shiste gas.

Most people don't know that hydraulic fracturing is only one operation at the end of the standard drilling process:
1) you drill a hole,
2) every now and then you cement it,
3) when you're deep enough you bring in explosives and fracture the sh*t out of the formation.
4) oil and gas will flow into your well from these fractures.
5) and, finally, if you're into hydraulic fracturing, you pump water with substances into the well under heavy pressure .... to make fractures bigger so that more oil and gas will flow.
So next time you see "burning water" on you tube think about this:
- if they did a lousy cement job then gas from bellow is ending up in water. There's absolutely no need for hydraulic fracturing for this to happen,
- if they perforate at very small depth (think under 1000 ft) then it is a dangerous operation, because there is water at that depth (and no drinking water at 13.000 ft) no need for fracking there too...

Fracturing (at least in oil and/or gas wells) is not done with explosives.

Fracturing doesn't make oil and gas flow; it makes the existing flow better (it increases the permeability of the rock, it doesn't create permeability from nothing).

An improperly done frac job will fracture upwards from the producing zone instead of into the producing zone. The "burning water" problem is usually from an improperly done frac job, not so much from a poor cement job (but it could be either).
Yeah, I worked in the oil biz.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Worked in the oil biz too. That is new to me. I was taught that perforation is done by perforation guns, which in turn, use explosives. Wiki seems to agree.[^]. Not to mention the good old nuclear times. I wonder what would environmentalists of 2017 say about that?H.Brydon wrote: Fracturing doesn't make oil and gas flow; it makes the existing flow better (it increases the permeability of the rock, it doesn't create permeability from nothing).
Indeed. And hydraulic fracturing does more of the same. For example, the sand that they pump also goes into the fractures keeping them opened for an extended period.
Economically speaking, hydraulic fracturing enables non-profitable wells to become profitable. That is why the world oil reserves have increased. We knew oil was there all the time -- but it was just not profitable to exploit it before.H.Brydon wrote: An improperly done frac job will fracture upwards from the producing zone instead of into the producing zone.

It is good to mention that deepest drinking water is only a few hundred ft deep down. And your average well can be 10.000 ft. So sometimes it is quite impossible for the two to "meet" without gas traveling through the well to the depth where it can leak into water that comes to the surface. But it depends. Definitely shallow wells are more dangerous to the environment.

What the faarrrkkkk has happened here?
Logged in to site on my phone for the first time in ages, seems to be the full site and not mobile and I'm given what looks like a thread view and I can't seem to change.
