DEP: Widespread Presence Of PFAS ‘Forever Chemicals’ In Fresh Water May Have Led To ‘Inadvertently’ Using Contaminated Water For Fracking Gas Wells In Washington County

PA Environment Daily

MAY 10, 2023

The shale gas wells were drilled and fracked between September 2011 and August 2012. Johnson said DEP’s letter of determination does not say whether DEP directly asked if Chevron used PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ at the drilling site in 2011-2012, but the Department instead stated it relied on a “review of documents related to the well site.”

That is long enough to see that there has been a noticeable trend in the Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI), mostly driven by a reduction in the solar radiation reflected by the planet, while the outgoing long wave radiation does not appear to contribute much. But what can be causing this? A paper last year (Goode et al.,

But as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today. And if the SMR were located closer to populated areas with no offsite emergency planning, more people could be exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation.
