Frack Your Country, Mother Fracker!
There is so much money thrown at the issues these days, but natural gas extraction by means of hydraulic fracking is one of the paramount issues of our time. Even though people, animals, and the environment are getting sick around these Fracking sites, to the extent that hair falls out and people are actually able to light their tap water on fire, the regulatory agencies of the U.S. government continue to claim that the process is safe, and that none of these very disturbing occurrences has to do with the Fracking that is going on in the area.
This is a direct result of a 'revolving door' that allows top ranking employees of these corporate giant energy companies to just come on over and work for the FDA, EPA, USDA and many other agencies. I say we fire all these people, and elect who our regulatory officials will be. Isn't that how democracy is supposed to work?
They are Fracking liars. . .
Now, I thought that lying in a court of law was tantamount to a criminal act, and was likely to end in the culprit's prosecution, or at lest contempt of court. So why is it that most of what goes on in court rooms these days is lying , and it is being taken at face value by us the slaves as truth? The scariest part to me, is watching films like Gas Land and bearing witness to the straight-faced lies these people tell in courtrooms, and in front of thousands of innocent people, who are literally depending upon them to give us the truth about the dangers of this incredibly destructive process. . .
So here it is . . .
I will give you the straight truth: Fracking is killing animals and humans, and desecrating the natural environment beyond a state which can hope to be repaired within the foreseeable future.
Here is a list of chemicals used in Hydraulic Fracking . . .
Natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing chemicals with 10 or more health effects ( oh yeah thats per chemical)
| • 2,2',2"-Nitrilotriethanol • 2-Ethylhexanol • 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one • Acetic acid • Acrolein • Acrylamide (2-propenamide) • Acrylic acid • Ammonia • Ammonium chloride • Ammonium nitrate • Aniline • Benzyl chloride • Boric acid • Cadmium • Calcium hypochlorite • Chlorine • Chlorine dioxide • Dibromoacetonitrile 1 • Diesel 2 • Diethanolamine • Diethylenetriamine • Dimethyl formamide • Epidian • Ethanol (acetylenic alcohol) • Ethyl mercaptan • Ethylbenzene | • Ethylene glycol • Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-BE) • Ethylene oxide • Ferrous sulfate • Formaldehyde • Formic acid • Fuel oil #2 • Glutaraldehyde • Glyoxal • Hydrodesulfurized kerosene • Hydrogen sulfide • Iron • Isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol) • Isopropanol (propan-2-ol) • Kerosene • Light naphthenic distillates, hydrotreated • Mercaptoacidic acid • Methanol • Methylene bis(thiocyanate) • Monoethanolamine • NaHCO3 | • Naphtha, petroleum medium aliphatic • Naphthalene • Natural gas condensates • Nickel sulfate • Paraformaldehyde • Petroleum distillate naptha • Petroleum distillate/ naphtha • Phosphonium, tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-sulfate • Propane-1,2-diol • Sodium bromate • Sodium chlorite (chlorous acid, sodium salt) • Sodium hypochlorite • Sodium nitrate • Sodium nitrite • Sodium sulfite • Styrene • Sulfur dioxide • Sulfuric acid • Tetrahydro-3,5-dimethyl-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione (Dazomet) • Titanium dioxide • Tributyl phosphate • Triethylene glycol • Urea • Xylene |
The chemicals used in this process, are highly destructive, carcinogenic, toxic, and dangerous. Many of the victims of this Fracking contamination have brought water from their kitchen sink to employees and administrators of the companies responsible for the contamination, and asked them to drink a little. Although every regulatory agency involved has stated over and over again that the water is completely safe, and in no way contaminated, no one is willing to drink it. You would think that since they were getting paid so much by the oil and gas industry to lie for them, regulators and employees would be willing to take a little taste for the camera, with a smile on their faces and proclaim "yummy! See, I told you it was safe." None of them have even touched a drop. I wouldn't drink it. After watching Josh Fox's documentary, and seeing several of the innocent victims of the contamination able to literally light their whole sink on fire with a lighter, just by holding it up to the running tap.
This issue is of dire urgency. Potentially one of the most pressing and disturbing current events on our plate as humans in this country today. Please watch Gasland and the sequel Gasland II, and stay informed. Fight oil and gas companies, and lets work together to build a sustainable clean energy future for our children and our planet.
