Shell – ExxonMobil gas drilling Groningen gas field, the Netherlands

Just for sharing and information:

This is ONE of the BIGGEST problems we face in the North of the Netherlands at this moment in time...

-DUTCH DISASTER IN SLOW MOTION-

...
Groningen has been one of Europe’s richest gas fields for 30 years, and thousands of people say their homes have been damaged by the tremors that drilling sets off and nobody (in our government) does a thing about it!

Earthquakes as a result of gas extraction occur just below the surface of the earth. A shallow “gas quake” has a lot more impact than a natural earthquake of the same magnitude 20 to 100 km deep.

February 19th, 1997
2nd big quake, in Roswinkel, 3.4 Richter scale / 3 km depth

August 8th, 2006
3rd big quake: triangle Middelstum, Stedum, Westeremden, 3.5 Richter scale / 3 km depth

August 16th, 2012
Huizinge 3.6 Richter scale / 3 km depth


(Smaller earthquakes increasing)


Shell – ExxonMobil gas drilling Groningen gas field, the Netherlands results in earthquakes, similar to fracking

Also in the rest of the EU things will change in the following years.

German Government Votes to Ban Internal Combustion Engines by 2030

...

2030 all appliances using natural GAS will be replaced with "green" solar, wind, battery or fuel cell electric power. This will be too late saving the North of the Netherlands from preventing damage from earthquakes maintaining long after they extracted gas!

So there is not much time left to figure out other "fuels sources" (for example) Stanley Meyers EP process and continue using gas (Hydrogen) on demand and (Hydrogen) gas combustion-engines etc.

German Government Votes to Ban Internal Combustion Engines by 2030    I do not believe in this ,who wants to abolish good funding source.
I like to say Do whatever you want with your own work and money-if you are doing good you will last if not you will perish sooner or later

This plan is too unambitious. Changing to nearly CO2 emissions free by 2050.

But it's byebye "gas" combustion-engines :nono: :nono: :facepalm:

Yes, fracking is crazy too, drinking water pollution environment. Crazy stuff!! I have seen documentaries.
