LvQ – Frakking [sic] Truther

November 5, 2010

This is so deranged it even took me by surprise. “Scientist” LvQ is openly advocating the movie “Gasland”, which is the new “Loose Change”, only about the very old and safe process of rock formation penetration known as “frakking” [sic] (not to be confused with that other activity also known as “frakking”). It’s been thoroughly debunked at the link here, as pure 100% junk science, but this freak puts his stamp of approval right on it here:

If this clown is a scientist, Michael Moore is a ballerina. Might as well start promoting “loose change” too, you blithering idiot.

    Again, LVQ should be out on a ledge some where drooling and threatening to jump. Can you imagine all the great posters that used to be on LGF and now their leading voice is a crank crackpot like him?

    He knows nothing about frakking. They have been doing it safely and successfully here for years and no water has been affected. We have environmentalists crawling all over our valley here and they have found nothing detrimental to the environmnt from gas drilling.
    His whole argument is Bullshit. Scientist my ass. How much free govmint money does LVQwack stand to gain from windmills and solar panels?

      Of course it does – he’s what passes for intellect over there these days so the crowd applauds.

      Of course, it could also be Quack Quack’s 20 socks listening to the voices inside his head.

    By the way, someone tell Quack Quack to stop using big words he doesn’t understand. There is nothing “Orwellian” about a bill called “The Clean Air Act of 2005.”

      That’s what happens when you cut-and-paste from some loony lefty site.

    I was too tired to pay attention last night because I’d just gotten a flu shot and was achy and snuffly from it, but I saw something on one of the lefty networks – possibly MSNBC, but I can’t swear to it – bringing up the same old canards that were in “Gasland.”

    Following your link above, here is a link specifically rebutting “Gasland”:

    Debunking Gasland

    However, given the fact that this crap reappeared on television last night, and clearly not everybody has seen the information debunking it, it’s probably time for one of our oil/gas experts to put up a new thread. I’m not the person to do it because this isn’t my field at all.

    “Freakin’ frakkin’ truther” – has a nice ring to it. Sounds like something LvQ Daffy Duck would say before he goes into a spluttering rage.

    LvQ did say much of the west and most of the national parks have been reduced to ‘moonscapes’ by this process. Funny I missed that, but he warns it’s moving eastward, because, uh, billions will die…

      When I drove through Yellowstone a few weeks ago, I noticed that there was this hot water steaming and spitting out of the ground. HE’S RIGHT!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!11

    Hey,can someone ask admins to check their blogmocracy email? I can’t post. :-)

    Damn it to hell, the term is “fracing.” Not “fraking” and not “frakking” and not “fracking.” And no, I don’t care how many dumb-ass “reporters” mis-spell it, that doesn’t make the mis-spelling correct. We frac a well, or we have fraced a well. We conduct a frac job. Tight reservoirs may require fracing. If we want to be fancy about it, we say hydraulic fracturing (as opposed to explosive fracturing, an older method that could only be used in certain situations.)

      Yeah, but look at all the jokes we got out of that spelling.

        So Ludwig’s against something he can’t even spell.

      I mean, this whole rant is pretty frakking funny, no?

    Properly trained scientists do not write things in a hysterical fashion. They report the results and expect to have them reviewed and challenged. Luddy treats science as some kind of grand production: YOU MUST AGREE WITH ME OR BILLIONS WILL DIE!!!Given the way he conducts himself, I cannot believe he has a masters or doctorate in a scientific field (theater arts is more likely).

    Yeah. Just ask Miss S.

    LOL! Gut one.

    This is just another great example of why this silly twit Lewdy has become the Scientific Merkin of Fatass’s wacky blog. I happen to have a brother in the gas exploration business here in MI, so I know a little about the subject. I knew this schlockumentary was bogus before it even came out, but it doesn’t surprise me one whit that Lewdy buys into this Moore-ish malarkey 100%, and by extension, so does the Fatass. A short extension. Very short. ;)

    What’s Lud going to say about Obama being in favor of fracing in Pennsylvania now? Surely, Obama, the smartest man in the world, has investigated the practice and with his crack team of science wonks, has decided fracing is a fine thing. Lud, of course, because of an HBO special, now knows different. This documentary is crap on par with the freakouts about power lines in backyards, vaccines, alar on apples, saccharine and all the other anecdotal scare-mongering you can think of over the years. Weak.
