Fracking for Natural Gas?
When I first heard the term fracking, I thought surely it was an isolated event. However, looking at this map, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe how many and how vast they were.
This reminds me of when I was investigating the disappearing ice in Alaska and other places around the world. I am convinced that part of the problems with the disappearing ice is all the holes they have punched in the ice.
They drill ice cores in the ice, drilling down under the guise of testing the ice cores, what they don’t tell you is that every one of the ice cores that they drill opens the ice up to premature melting, because it has more surface area to melt.
They have taken hundreds of thousands of these ice cores, causing more of the ice to melt more quickly. So, instead of studying the ice cores they are actually speeding up the disappearance of the ice!
If you haven’t done your homework on this one, don’t wait too long. Not only is your water being polluted but the amount of chemicals used in the process is unbelievable and we could start having MORE earthquakes as a result.
Within the central and Eastern United States, more than 300 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater were recorded from 2010 through 2012, compared to an average rate of 21 earthquakes per year from 1967 to 2000, he noted in a review study on human-induced earthquakes published today in Science.
In southern California, researchers have found a correlation between seismic activity and a geothermal power plant that pumps water out of an underground reservoir to produce steam that spins electricity generating turbines and then returns most of the water back underground. [Read more…]
We still have to live on this planet and just because we can do something, doesn’t me we should. We need to protect the earth, because we only have ONE. When it’s gone, we will be, too.
