[Guest guest]

so, since they add a certain odor to natural gas so we'll know there's a leak,

and also to attract turkey vultures(not as much anymore i hear tho), does this

mean they are gonna start looking fer turkey vultures with 6 eyes and are 40'

tall?

 

 

Oil company hopes to drill near nuclear-blast cavity in Colorado

 

Some 36 years ago, the Atomic Energy Commission and a Texas oil company put a

nuclear bomb in an 8,000-foot shaft on Colorado's energy-rich Western Slope and

detonated it, hoping to reach a reserve of natural gas lying beneath the

subterranean rock. They succeeded in releasing the gas, but it was too

radioactive to be used -- duh -- and a 40-acre perimeter around the blast site

was put off-limits, with another half-mile added to the no-drill zone last year.

But that may not stop one Texan oil company from accessing the reserve. If its

plans are approved by Colorado's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission -- which

has never denied a drilling permit -- the company will get at the natural gas

using a method called hydraulic fracing, which company flacks say won't disturb

the radioactive material. Residents of surrounding Garfield County aren't so

sure. Says local plumber and farmer Scott Brynildson, " Let's see, you drill a

hole, put a nuclear bomb in it, explode the bomb, then come back and frac it.

Real smart. "
