We'll have to see what happens when they start fracking in the richest county in the State of Michigan.

Lots of expensive lake front property around there.

Seems like the rich would prevent that, although I am constantly surprised at how Michigan seems to be given up on.

it is criminal.

[-] 2 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

It's quite the conundrum for them.

They like the profits, but we'll see what happens when one of their private lakes is fouled.

[-] 1 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

That'll learn 'em.

[-] -1 points by freakzilla3 (-75) 11 years ago

Is that where Michael Moore's million dollar house is? I can't remember the name of the town, just know it's on a lake and it's around 98% white.

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Isn't it great to see a member of the 1% (Michael Moore) standing up and fighting for the 99%?

Gives ya hope other 1%'rs can be swayed.

[-] 0 points by freakzilla3 (-75) 11 years ago

Michael Moore isn't the 1%, but plenty of them will support OWS, a long as there's a buck to be made. Did you buy any of Jay Z's Occupy t-shirts?

[-] 3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I think he pulled them when we objected. Micheal is the wealthy class and does support the 99%.

Many do. We should congratulate them and encourage others. Personally I support the Jay Z T's.

We should've just pressured him to give OWS the profits.

[-] 0 points by freakzilla3 (-75) 11 years ago

I've heard he has some problems, but how much money to donate to OWS ain't one. Also on the ain't list: retirement, housing, healthcare, and buying your wife shoes made from rare exotic animals.

[-] 3 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

I'm not sure I understand your personal attack against Jay Z. Are you saying he is wrong forretiring, having nicehouses, healthcare, and buying his wife shoes?

how is any of this related to the fracking topic?

[-] -1 points by freakzilla3 (-75) 11 years ago

I was just agreeing with you about how great it is that OWS gets support from the 1%. Go team!

There are apparently many, many things you can't recall, like what happened to your sense of humanity, though I doubt it's limited to only that.

[-] -1 points by freakzilla3 (-75) 11 years ago

Hey I'm with you. Once the greedy fat white guys (eg Michael Moore) start feeling the pain, then we'll get some movement against fracking.

Stop being an ignorant Asshole! It's your corrupt repubs who are obstructing green tech implementation. When that ends fracking will be unnecessary.

"Shale Gas Bubble Looms, Aided by Wall Street", by Steven Horn :

From which : "Roughly 17 months ago, activists from around the country set up encampments outside of Wall Street, coining themselves Occupy Wall Street. As Rogers' report demonstrates, they had the right target in mind. Rogers opens the report on a defiant note. "The recent natural gas market glut was largely effected through overproduction of natural gas in order to meet financial analyst’s production targets," she wrote. "Further, leases were bundled and flipped on unproved shale fields in much the same way as mortgage-backed securities had been bundled and sold on questionable underlying mortgage assets prior to the economic downturn of 2007." Also see :

"Perils of the Keystone XL Pipeline Confront Obama", by Ralph Nader :

From which : "Since fracking is spreading rapidly in many states to increase U.S. oil production, not to mention burgeoning natural gas fracking extractions, why would President Obama want to approve Keystone XL? What about his State of the Union warnings regarding global warming and its terrible costs in lives, property and money?"

Word of advice for those living in fracking communities. Get a canary. Miners used to take em into the mines with em as a early warning system - because the canary would pass out when the air went bad with gas saturation prior to it making the miners pass-out.

Keep some safely mounted pilot lights lit in strategic locations?

Hmmm maybe not?

As I am wondering if they would burn off the gathering fumes prior to reaching a danger level - or just be the cause of an explosion rather then preventing death by gas inhalation.

AHhhh - there ya go - hard wire em - check the back-up batteries regularly in case of power outage. Damn shooz that was a good call.

Yep - a tool can still be useful as long as you are aware of it's faults/limitations.

People - when mounting a gas detector - 1st make sure it covers the gas you are concerned about. 2nd if it says mount just below the ceiling - consider that that means below the high point of your ceiling and does not mean the high point of the outside walls. Consider a vaulted ceiling - the peak of the vault would be the wall mount place.

Don't tire yourself over frivolous activities. Just discuss ideas, and stop worrying about the proposers so much. Focus your energy on things that matter. Occupy is that thing, and that encompasses the idea of a community run website designed to help people make decisions that come to full fruition on the ground. Once we create a new better world we will need an online system which permits people to communicate their ideas, grievances, and solutions from anywhere they want. Let's start building that now, and let's do it together.

Mountain top removal mining also needs attention : ( clean water act - what is it for if not situations like this ? )

From the Sierra club.

For many people living near mountaintop removal coal mining sites in Appalachia, the water they are forced to use for bathing, cooking, and even drinking is cloudy, brown, and toxic.

Years of mountaintop removal coal mining have buried 2,000 miles of local streams with waste from Big Coal's destruction -- many of the streams that are left are devoid of life. Well water in the area isn't safe either, and it's making people sick. People living nearby are at higher risk of cancer and birth defects.

More than four years ago, President Obama said we need to find ways to avoid "blowing the tops off mountains." We're still waiting; tell the Obama administration we can't wait any longer -- it's time to act!

During President Obama's first term, the EPA issued some guidelines that encourage coal companies to do more to protect the water in Appalachia. But these guidelines are non-binding -- mining companies and some Appalachian state agencies are doing all they can to fight them.

Half-measures like these are unacceptable when the health of entire communities is on the line.

Tell President Obama and the EPA that everyone deserves clean water. Urge them to act now to protect Appalachia from mountaintop removal mining!

Congress passed the Clean Water Act over forty years ago so that no one would be forced to drink polluted water. Enforcing the Clean Water Act is something that the Obama administration can do right away, without waiting for Congress, to bring relief to Americans living near mountaintop removal mining.

Holding coal companies accountable for this dangerous pollution is one of many actions President Obama must take during his second term to secure a clean energy legacy for our children.

Please tell President Obama that you will measure the clean energy legacy of his presidency by what he does to protect Appalachians from the effects of mountaintop removal.

Thanks for all you do to protect the environment,

Mary Anne Hitt Beyond Coal Campaign Director Sierra Club

They have got to realize that the water table - the underground aqua-firs run from rural to urban - they are the same aqua-fir - so they are at the same hazard - no matter where the fracking gets done.

With the delema Obama has on XL -
protect the environment & stop XL

what do you think of a rail road line to transport the oil
a crash would be relatively contained & it would create jobs
to reduce danger further, the rail line could run thru a 10' tall pipe with ( breaks for transport )

Change this a bit & send it:


Mr. Michael Ward
President
CSX

Jacksonville, Florida 32202

Dear Mr Ward:
I have been a stock holder in CSX for many years. I have been very pleased with the stock performance and especially your green efforts.
It seems to me that President Obama has a big delema -
that you can help solve -
stop the XL pipeline & protect the environment
OR
build the XL pipeline & create jobs.

I have an alternative that could be good for everyone - create jobs & protect the environment.

Obviously - ship the oil by rail road tank car.

For extra protection against accidents, the rail line could be built INSIDE a pipe - ( circular or semi-circular ) with each section a mile or two long that could be sealed if necessary and with breaks where necessary for cross traffic.

This would be much more expensive for the oil companies - but it does create jobs & protects the environment.

Again - thank you for the care you take with OUR company.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

BP = 210,000,000 gallons - 7000 times larger
a large residential oil tank is 1000-2000 gallons I'm not sure this is the answer , but if you put the rail line in a lined trench or inside of a sealable pipe , this may be a solution

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 11 years ago

what you're proposing would likely mean the rail line would be dedicated to shipping oil and I don't believe they would do that.

major refers to the richter scale. the earth is covered with tectonic plates that are constantly ( though slowly) moving against each other. when pressure builds up, you have an earthquake. beside these specific and well known plates there are fault lines all around the planet..

[-] 2 points by inclusionman (7064) 11 years ago

Yeah so. I know about the science of earthquakes. I still didn't say major. You made that up so you could say 'there have no major quakes'.

ut there have been many quakes resulting from fracking. That you cannot deny honestly.

Do we need a majorquake before you support a moratorium?

can you prove that any earthquakes occurred due to fracking?

I guess the politicians (Kasich etc) who called a moratorium after scientists proved it will have to be enough.

Did you read the article?

How many major earthquakes in the last 10 years? 2? 3? did they occcur in areas where fracking is done? NO.

I never said major. Are you making things up (major ?) just to knock 'em down? Straw man anyone.?

There have been many small earthquakes in several areas. Do we need to wait for a major one before you support action?

End fracking. Build 1 million wind turbines.

Simply making automatic turn offs every 100 yards would be a good start.

People dont realize theres already a pipeline that goes from Canada all the way down to Texas. It just runs a bit crooked, for some reason they decided to run this one straight through, almost as if they were trying to make a big spectacle of it.

I've posted the extent of the dilbit pipeline and it's proposed expansions several times. I'm not going to do it again here, as the subject is finding a safer way of shipment.

In your proposal, if the New Madrid becomes active, those cutoffs would offer little protection.

Well if you wanted to bring that post back up it could be useful as an extension of this topic. I would enjoy reading it.

It would interesting to see how many trains would have to travel that distance per day to equal the amount of movement in the liquid.

You're the one living in a cave. I hope you're enjoying your chilled fracking fluid.
