Schumberger fracking site shut down in NY
At around 11am, over 150 people arrived to block the main truck entrance in and out to the Schumberger Facility, according to The People’s Action Against Fracking. Twenty of these 150 came prepared to use their bodies to blockade the facility until they were removed by police. Faced with such large numbers and organized resistance, Schumberger did not have their normal daytime shift. People stayed until 4:30 PM, stopping the daytime operation of this 24/7 hour facility and then left of their own accord, deciding that the action was a success.

No Fracking Way West Virginia!
This blog, focusing on drilling in central West Virginia, seeks to reveal the unpleasant truths about Hydraulic Fracturing. aka Fracking. According to a recent study, conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), just one drilling site deploys harmful chemicals sufficient “to contaminate more than 100 billion gallons of drinking water to unsafe levels … more than 10 times as much water as the entire state of New York uses in a single day.”https://www.youtube.com/

Fracking can take place in national parks because the visual intrusion it causes is minimal and the environmental risks have been exaggerated, says the Environment Agency’s outgoing chairman.
Lord Smith of Finsbury said that provided fracking was properly regulated it would be safe and “very useful” in helping Britain reduce its reliance on imported gas and dirty coal-fired power stations.

‘provided’ etc. Ha ha ha. The evidence from around the world that fracking contaminates and kills in all its locations, and is not controllable by regulation and management, is being ignored. See Paul Mobbs and his opinion that Cameron’s dodgy dossier on fracking is simply criminal. Government ministers who repeat the stock phrase ‘provided etc’ are repeating the crime. The report they are quoting is McKay and Stone. It ignored all the evidence to reach a pre-ordained conclusion. That’s the same as Alastair Campbell’s dodgy dossier – except this time the risks are sexed down not up.
just returned from visiting family in France and noticed a massive change from previous years. Whole fields of pale blue poppies in between the usual fields of rapeseed and sunflowers Family been living in SW France for over 15 years and never happened before. Don’t believe its a coincidence that the troops are pulling out of Afghanistan. Whoever planted these, presumably farmers though that doesn’t necessarily follow, got the heads-up last year. Interesting times we live in.
Blue poppies? Isn’t that where the opium and heroin comes from?
Plans to overturn ancient laws to allow fracking are “despicable”, says campaigners.
The Government is looking to change the law so firms can drill under houses without permission of the landowners.
Ministers are preparing to overhaul the trespass legislation that could have scuppered the plans of energy companies in Sussex.
It has been reported a British Geological Survey report to be published within weeks will reveal the Weald could contain up to a third of the reserves of oil and gas of the North Sea.
Landowner Marcus Adams was one of a number of campaigners who had first sought to use the old law to stop Celtique from exploratory drilling under their land in Fernhurst.
He said: “Frankly, I think this is despicable, and hopefully will become a major electoral issue. The fact that this Government, that I have supported all my adult life, wants to remove my rights so that a few individuals and their (mostly foreign) financial backers can make a quick buck, demonstrates just how little respect it has for the views of the majority of people.
“The vast majority of people living in Fernhurst do not want this development to go ahead and are becoming increasingly vocal about it. The word is also spreading to many other parts of the country.”
Under current law, firms need permission from landowners to drill fracking tunnels.
The change to the law is expected to be included in the Government’s proposed Growth Bill.
It is thought the energy industry is unwilling to invest hundreds of millions of pounds into exploring the potentially huge resources under Sussex until the potential banana skin of trespass law has been reformed.
Compensation of about £100 could be offered to landowners.
Opponents argue the fracking process could cause earthquakes, pollute water, blight the countryside and affect house prices.

Up For Shale: Cameron ‘bribes’ councils to allow fracking

Gordon.
Well gone are the days when this nation of ours was governed by a government and in its stead we have a government of corporate executives adherent only to the mandates of a corporate state were it is seen to be benevolent toward its nations environment yet malevolent on every account.
Where does geoengineering, (the altering of the earth or its environment) Chemtrailing, come into the Clean Air Act when it pollutes the skies over our towns and cities throwing down noxious chemicals and blocking sunlight? Likewise Fracking which releases methane into the atmosphere?
Where does the billions of gallons of polluted water from Fracking loaded with carcinogenic chemicals and is ignitable from your household taps come into the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbours Act? Yet as one MP put it “It’ll be fine.”
I’ve heard it said that “America has been Fracking for forty years or more.” So what! Does that make it right! This article clearly demonstrates the explosive side of Fracking in North America. There are major problems here and big ones at that which we are not told about. The reality is the same, corruption and greed in favour of the few with a blatant disregard for the many and the environment.
Can it honestly be said that the UK government, or for that matter any other government, have the welfare and well-being of its nation at heart when it connives to allow such a nocuous and detrimental process to pollute, injure and destroy the natural environmental amenities and habitats of our country and planet.
What we need is a complete overhaul of the less than 1% that govern this country which favours
corporatism, whose criminal activities benefit not the populace but themselves, corporations, banksters and investors while we the 99% are walked all over and Fracked to the hilt.
Gordon.
Chevron is the outfit that left vast contamination behind it in Ecuador,They were sued by the new government,but the outcome is still uncertain.Typical Yank company,spreading destruction around the world for profit.
