arguing with you is a never-ending battle… we both pick and choose arguments but at least mine aren’t fallacy. Anyway you’re an idiot… sure mine subsidence is OBVIOUSLY most well known, well because i don’t know commercial COAL EXTRACTION is everywhere and has been for many many many more years than natural gas and at a huge and unimaginable scale.
lets review long term natural gas extraction and the subsidence issues surrounding: If natural gas is extracted from a natural gas field the initial pressure (up to 600 bar) in the field will drop over the years. The gas pressure also supports the soil layers above the field. If the pressure drops, the soil pressure increases and this leads to subsidence at the ground level. Since exploration of the Slochteren (Netherlands) gas field started in the late 1960s the ground level over a 250 km² area has dropped with a current maximum of 30 cm [3]. See also this subsidence lecture.
not to add definition or clarity to the arguement, here are the facts: Fossil natural gas can be “associated” (found in oil fields) or “non-associated” (isolated in natural gas fields), and is also found in coal beds (as coalbed methane).
my tounge in cheek comment was more so drawn at the drilling for oil finds the associated gas pockets, but you thought i was referring to methane, noted, but in reality still both funny to me.
the Marcellus shale is great and all… but per unit of gas per acre, it isn’t all that incredible.
and there are tons of power outages monthly… circuts go down, grids over load… people suffer from it and to date it’s communications and electric… lets compound the outages issues by making it even more of a single point of failure :ugh:
Have you ever fucked a hot girl? I think you need it… they will slap that godly overtone out of you; but I think you get off more on the overtone than women. Weird ~ but to each his own. :blue:
