Fracking - where is it headed ?
This seems to be a particular issue for NE Pennsylvania.
Are any Dwellars involved with it yet ??? An OregonLive article Cracking down on fracking Published: Thursday, February 25, 2010, 5:00 AM *** Updated: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 2:17 PM By Amy Goodman Quote:

Bugs Bunny: Hey Sam, pass the salt please. Yosemite Sam: Salt? GET IT YOURSELF! Bugs Bunny: Uh oh, that'll cost you about... Yosemite Sam: Salt? Why didn't you say so. Here's your salt, Bunny, I hope you like it. [Brings it across the table to him then walks back] Yosemite Sam: Ooh that rackin' frackin'... Bugs Bunny: The pepper please. Yosemite Sam: PEPPER! WE... Uh, yeah the pepper. Coming right up. [Walks to the end of the table and gives it to Bugs] Yosemite Sam: Ooh that rackin' frackin'... Bugs Bunny: Oh Sam! Yosemite Sam: Oh no. Bugs Bunny: How about the olives? |
Seven counties in PA now have cases of contaminated water due to fracking.
This is not just a threat to rural counties. This problem threatens water sources for both NYC and Philadelphia. |
Yes, the reason I brought it up is that on a recent MSNBC talk show there was discussion of how some farm families are loosing their farms because the (well) water is so contaminated, and supposedly there have been several farmers to commit suicide.
Oregon has a couple of bills in the State Legislature in the works to specify what levels of specific "permanently placed compounds (?)" will be allowed, but since the methane is already in the ground it probably can not be included. This legislation will probably also raise the hackles of sports fishermen and the ODFW because there are plans to use the process in drilling under rivers and lakes for pipelines. Messing about with rivers and lakes is a BIG NO! NO! NO! in this state.

I saw a piece of that show on MSNBC... Wasn't one of the issues what was in the compound they were/are using?
|
That's the drilling company's proprietary information... you can't have it.

Gee thanks. You think that might be an important aspect of all this?
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |

Thanks to our laws favoring HUGE business over us, so long as the chemicals they use are MIXED, they have no obligation to reveal them. If it was just ONE chemical, they would have to. Logic has no place in business, i guess. |

Besides, now that corporations can spend as much as they want on 'their' politicians, then 'contributions' are even larger when protecting those corporations from evil liberals. His snippets actually say something. Most of the words are only invisible. |
If the corps were paying for the D's you wouldn't be bitching at all. Take your partisan BS elsewhere. You are AGAIN trying to pick a fight where it need not be. Run along and piss on someone else. OH wait you can't because most of the rest ignore you. Maybe I'll join them, again.
