The long .....
In the Stop the Fracking in Morgantown Industrial Park Facebook
Group Jeff Young initiated a discussion about the recent MIT report,
http://web.mit.edu/mitei/research/studies/natural-gas-2011.shtml
. He said,
This is important reading for anyone who wants a
serious, broader view of the environmental implications of the gas
boom. Key findings are that we could cut the country's greenhouse
gas emissions from the power sector by 20% simply by switching
from coal to existing natural gas plants. There would also be
enormous benefits in reducing mercury, SOx, NOx and other
pollutants.
As one could easily predict, the discussion became very long, and
Jeff recently deleted it. Early in the discussion I introduced him
to the Tyndall Study, http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/shalegasreport
to provide another perspective. And this is the result:

On a side note: Some of you probably remember how in the past I have
spoken about the MIT report, John Deutch, the DOE, and Cheniere. :)
Note: In the same LOE show there is also a discussion about
injection induced earthquakes: http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.html?programID=11-P13-00025&segmentID=4
