"Noam Chomsky slams Canada's shale gas energy plans"
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/nov/01/noam-chomsky-canadas-shale-gas-energy-tar-sands
"It means taking every drop of hydrocarbon out of the ground, whether it's shale gas in New Brunswick or tar sands in Alberta and trying to destroy the environment as fast as possible, with barely a question raised about what the world will look like as a result."
Thank you beautifulworld for article----It says so much.
Excellent link, thanks. I remember driving through New Brunswick on our way back from PEI. It's a beautiful province.
"Chomsky expressed concern about an indigenous community in New Brunswick whose encampment blockading shale gas exploration was raided by a heavily armed Canadian police force two weeks ago."
Solidarity.
The total disregard that governments have for native populations is shameful.
Wondering if National Geographic will lose a sponsor.
Hmmmmm I wonder - If so - would advertizing who pulled out and for what reasons help ?
Shell
Ahhhhh - National Geographic - I HOPE YOU WILL POST A STORY VERY PROMINENTLY WHEREVER YOU ARE ABLE. Hmmmm the very idea that shell would be unhappy with a fracking documentary - well - it just shakes ones confidence................
Nice - TWEET

Battles Escalate as Community Efforts to Ban Fracking http://on.natgeo.com/1f5AZs2 via @NatGeo
Nice 2 C people standing up 4 themselves/community
Excerpt: What's unclear is how far energy companies are willing to go to protect their interests. Industry giants ExxonMobil and BP declined to comment on the issue
Ummmm don't energy companies ( fossil fuel ) hire/own mercenary armies? I think that should answer the question of how far they are willing to go.
Excerpt: Industry representatives say drilling takes years of planning and millions of dollars of investment before the trucks arrive. If a local government has authority to ban drilling or enact regulations that make it too costly or cumbersome, drillers say it puts that investment at risk.
Hmmm . . . now why does it take millions of dollars of investment prior to moving into an area? Does investment mean buying access? Buying Access from local or state officials or both? Hmmmmmm
Good point. Buying all those officials----And with all that Tax Payer Money.
Fossil Fuel Subsidies - just gotta love em. BASTARDS.
Regarding the things We The People pay for, it is amazing----our own destruction.
AND We The People Have No Say in it - Though It Is Our Money And Is Supposed to Be Our Country. HUH - WTF?
Sacrifice Zones, NSA Surveillance, War
Well - it is becoming more and more apparent - there is only One Sacrifice Zone - EARTH.
Will keep track of the steady progress.
Will keep it on track.
Well Said
OH so sad to hear you say that. But what else is one to think when looking at the world at this point in time?
Excerpt: "You are having places like the city of Dallas that have to decide if they are going to allow it in the city boundaries," Negro said. "These issues just have not come up before."
Hmmmm isn't Texass all about fossil fuel ( drill baby drill ) I would think that they would be offering the keys to the city to a fracking enterprise. I mean the process is so safe and clean - and Texass sure would be aware of that. So wheres the prob? I mean Really - shouldn't all of Texass be all over this like flies on fresh shit?
