Quotes by Russell Gold

I dont fear fracking. I fear carbon

Take the time to get it right. Therell be gas tomorrow night

Fracking is different. The risks of any single well are tiny compared to a nuclear power plant. But several hundred wells? Several thousand?

Fracking ensures that the age of oil-and its princely hydrocarbon cousin, the natural gas molecule-will not end because we have run out of fossil fuels. But it may end because burning these wonderful fuels puts the planet farther down a path we dont want to head down

We are fossil fuel addicts. What happens when drug addicts detox? They can be rash, cranky, even psychotic and dangerous. It would be good for the environment if the entire economy abruptly quit fossil fuels, but thats not realistic. I wouldnt want to be around if it ever happened. Perhaps its best to think of natural gas like methadone. Its a way for an energy addicted society to get off dirtier fuels and smooth out the detox bumps.
