Yoko Ono Quotes

There are serious worries about unconventional gas and oil, especially those concerning the environment.

I'm not a scientist. If there is a risk to our environment, there will be no fracking.

If I were to do a foundation, it would be to promote solar energy. And I'm worried about drilling for oil. I think it is harming the earth, 'cos it drains the layer of oil under the surface, and that could be causing earthquakes. It's like we're giving the earth arthritis. I don't know if that sounds crazy.

The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.

I fracked over 3,000 wells in my life and never had a problem with an aquifer.

I think 'Gasland' is the doorway for a lot of people to see something happening in their backyard and realize the national and global implications.

Hydraulic fracturing requires massive amounts of water. Disposing of the toxic wastewater, as well as accidental spills, can contaminate drinking water and harm human health.

Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.

Despite its many critics, hydraulic fracturing will change the nature of energy production.

Fracking is an industrial process, but it can be done safely. It's government's job to make sure it can be done safely.

Acidisation isn't benign - like fracking, it can pose risks to groundwater sources, and runs counter to the urgency with which we must shift away from fossil fuels.

Wyoming, home to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons, is also the country's largest coal producer and one of its largest gas drillers. Two-thirds of the state's gas-drilling rigs are on public lands in the increasingly industrialized Greater Green River Basin.

We have never believed that any potential future benefits from fracking make it acceptable for the government to bulldoze over the concerns of local communities or the very real environmental dangers that can occur as a result of weak safeguards controlling the technical process.

The process to generate energy using the Canadian tar sands is particularly dirty, producing one of the most noxious fossil fuels on the planet and leaving a devastated landscape in its wake.

Extracting oil from the tar sands is a nasty, polluting, energy-intensive business.

No one does a better, cleaner, or environmental friendlier, than the United States, when it comes to drilling for oil, gas, coal, oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.

Fracking has been used for more than 60 years to successfully drill over a million oil and gas wells in the U.S. Nonetheless, the prevailing mythology on the radical left is that the technology is 'poisoning our children' by polluting the water we drink and the air we breathe.

Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.

What makes tar sands particularly odious is that the energy you get out in the end, per unit carbon dioxide, is poor. It's equivalent to burning coal in your automobile.

If it can't be proven that mountaintop removal mining is safe, we shouldn't allow it to continue.

I think we should drill up in Alaska.

There is no doubt that environmentally related diseases will continue to pose problems in the future.

The issue of fracking is a stick in the hornet's nest.

A lot of the basic research that helped us figure out fracking came from the federal government.

The squandering of oil and gas is associated with one of the greatest tragedies, not in the least resolved, which is suffered by humankind: climate change.
