Ironically, that is exactly what happens in the oil industry.
- btilly 11y agoIt happens for oil spills. But I don't believe it happens for fracking.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoThere's actually very little risk in fracking itself. Unfortunately, the movie "Gasland" made a real mess of the term.
- tremon 11y agoDo you mean that in the sense that there's also "very little risk in operating a nuclear power plant"? As in, we know how to do it safely and contained (perfect world scenario), but there's a lot of risk in non-optional secondary processes?
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoI don't mean anything utopian. I mean that my understanding is that environmental risk due to fracking is very carefully monitored and can be controlled to some acceptable epsilon. FWIW, there IS very little risk of operating a nuclear power plant. Incidents, while spectacular, are extremely rare. They say ( whoever "they" is ) that molten salt and other technologies are safer yet.
