What the Frack!

Thursday-Sunday, January 30, 2011

Blessings of Peace Kin Kin. Thank you Sane and Reverent Allies of Living, Loving Light.

Just heard about Josh Fox from Caroline Casey's latest radio show. He's made a movie about hydraulic fracturing. Here's a quote from the site http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/.  Click on "Drilling Areas" for video clips from all over the states about different effects from hydraulic fracturing.

How does hydraulic fracturing work?
Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling. Once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and proprietary chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and props open fissures that enable natural gas to flow more freely out of the well.

You can view the movie here for the time being http://www.wisevid.com/gate-way?v=8A_xguxqd_99.


Here's an interview Jon Stewart did with T. Boone Pickens, an American financier who chairs the hedge fund BP Capital Management. Mr. Pickens advocates fracking. Apparently, Mr. Pickens hasn't seen any of the footage from GasLand. Again, go to http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/. and click on "Drilling Areas" for the video clips. Check out the Colorado clip.

The Stewart interview is 22 minutes. I can't believe Jon is...
