Fracker’s Legal Defense: “We’re Not Frackers”; Encana Files Defence in Lawsuit with Fracking Folk Hero

Fracker’s Legal Defense: “We’re Not Frackers” by Chip Northrup, September 20, 2013, Shale Shock Media

“We’re stimulators” – according to Encana, who is being sued by my pal Jessica Ernst, Canadian Fractavist Folk Hero. In their nano-pleading, Encana denies that they fracked the well that contaminated her water – they use the industry euphemism for it – “they stimulated the gas well” that contaminated her water.  As soon as I read that I started laughing, then started typing . . .

If the First Rule of Frack Club is to not talk about Frack Club, the 2nd rule is to deny you’re a fracker. When someone takes them to court for fracking their water supply – say they’re “stimulators” It sounds better.

It doesn’t matter what they frack the well with –  water, Napalm, a Nuclear Bomb, or air  – when the well bore leaks, it can contaminate ground water. Even in Canada, eh ?

It also doesn’t matter whether they fracked coal bed methane or shale for gas – when the well bore leaks, it contaminates groundwater. Even in fracking Canada.
