schestowitz^No. I personally know a physicist at Schlumberger, and the only “nuclear” activity in the wells is an alpha-particle emitter, from which they analyze the back-scatter, in order to identify the chemical composition of the rocks. The fracking itself sometimes involves no explosives at all, just some very high pressures of nasty fluids.

schestowitzYes, that's perfect! :-) :-DSep 11 08:21
schestowitzI was reluctant at first to ask, but sometimes I copy the URL with an extra quote sign or a missing letter and then post a broken link (in social control media you cannot edit, only delete). So I thought, since the token for title and url is already in the program, why not make an extra 'template' for that? Or print them out within the loop...Sep 11 08:21
schestowitzSometimes the titles don't say much, so I pick from the except instead. At least this way techrights covers things other than tech, limiting that to sources that are >relatively< reliable in my experience (I deleted many over the years because they lost trust, e.g. "opendemocracy" taking money from the same oligarch whom it then >also< started whitewashing).Sep 11 08:21
