Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
Good catch there Big Hair. R's native state of Nevada has several issues. They have completely destroyed the acquifer there with rocket fuel seeping into the ground. I was going to buy 40 acres and put a horse ranch on it. Less stress than what I'm doing now. Then I noticed water well drilling all over. Asked a few questions and it turns out the rocket fuel floats on top of the water so they have to drill well deeper to get below that crap. Between the water and the nuclear testing some 50 years ago, the state is becoming uninhabitable. On a dark night you can see some of the distant hills actually glow in the dark.

You remember that story about a leaf turning up in far north Queensland from an underground steam? The leaf was from a very rare plant found ONLY in Papua NewGuinea.

Not only is the oil connected, so is the water.

Thanks BHD.

I'll look into to ordering the film. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'll suggest it to others as well, because the big companies have recently put their hooks into Ohio and folks need to understand what results from this type of mining resources.

Hope your feeling better.

I have no idea if they engage in this in colorado, (I live north suburban area, but I get the damdest tasting water here, very chemical at times, not chlorine etc and sometime I swear it smells llike it has petroleum of some sort in the stuff.
 Quoting: Nobody in Particular


Hi NiP. Sounds like alne from the movie. The natural gas and the chemicals used to frack the areas are seeping in to ground water aquafers.

Next time it smells/tastes funny. Pour a big amount in to a jar with a lid. Shake it up good. Have a lighter handy. Lift the lid, and see if it lights up.

Hey Snookums, don't go getting your bloomers in a big ole wad, ferchrissake.
We ('Merkinz) whupped up a protest and stopped the fracking in Arkansas that was the cause of those EQs there. We got up on our hind legs and squawked real loud at Exxon, and now their ad boy isn't smirking, flashing his dimples about their crimes - he's now somber about their sincerity - not that that means anything real, but, hey - I no longer want to smash my screen just to rearrange his face. 90% of all natural gas mining in the US is done by the frack. This is going on in Colorado and all over the place, but, thankfully, 'Merkinz are on to it, and are raging on the oil/gas peeps. This is just another of many crimes against humanity and Gaia that we all have to protest in the most vehement way. It's a constant battle. Suit up your armor and grab your weapons - we are in for the long haul and we ALL have to pay really close attention.

EQs in the South Island caused by fracking?
Immediately after the June EQ I was taking water from a backyard tap.
I could NOT drink it as it reeked of gas and tasted utterly foul.Undrinkable.

Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
It's everywhere!

Two men have been arrested for erecting a banner on Blackpool Tower protesting against a controversial method of extracting gas that - up until recently - was being tested in the area.

Energy company Cuadrilla suspended its fracking test operations in June over fears of a link to two minor earthquakes in the area. But what are the other concerns over the practice and what exactly does it involve?

Now, isn't this interesting! Didn't Tony "I-wanna-get-my-life-back" Whatzizface (BP CEO) get transferred to Russia after his epic fail in the GoM? Doesn't seem that worked out for him either. Drove Russia right into the arms of EXXON. At any rate, the reported fact that Russians are gonna be "learning" deep water drilling in the GoM set off my bullshit detector.

Exxon Forms Rosneft Alliance for Arctic Reserves, Gulf of Mexico

<snip>
Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) formed an alliance with OAO Rosneft, Russia’s largest oil producer, to drill from the Texas plains and Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean.
Exxon and Rosneft plan to spend an initial $3.2 billion exploring Russia’s Arctic offshore and the Black Sea, the companies said today in a statement. In turn, Rosneft may become the first major Russian oil producer to develop U.S. deposits, gaining experience in deep-water and shale oil.
Exxon replaces BP Plc (BP/) as Rosneft’s partner at three blocks in the arctic Kara Sea after the U.K. explorer’s billionaire partners in the TNK-BP venture blocked that agreement this year. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who presided over the Exxon deal today in Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast, said it may generate as much as $500 billion of investments.
“Access to new resources is the life blood of oil companies,” said Fadel Gheit, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. in New York. “Russia is one of the largest resources that’s still available. It’s like Exxon is now dating the girlfriend BP had a few months ago.”

Hi TutuWuwu
What did you do to wipe that smug grin off their faces. The reason I"m asking is the sea around the bottom of New Zealand has been put up for tender to the most devious player oops I mean highest bidder (samething I think) and fracking has been mentioned more than once. Any thoughts or info on how we can stop them?

Perhaps by getting the word out onto the internet and local activism?
Where I live knowledge of the PTW, and what they do, is common.And some of this stuff-depredations by DOC etc-has been stalled.
From that blog I googled.
"Gas extraction in Taranaki is extensive with over forty, (and counting) non-notified resource consents given by the Taranaki council for 2010 alone. That means they don’t tell anybody. Exploration has also been undertaken in the Hawkes Bay, Waikato, King Country, Northland, Bay of Plenty, Wairarapa and other parts of both the North and South Islands."

Note that the "non-notified" resource consents, which no one knows about,cover unnamed parts of both the North and South Island.

Re: Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
I reckon the best thing to do is to watch for or find legislation changes relating to clean drinking water acts. Even subtle ones.

When the fracking fluids combine with natural drinking water sources, the law suits will come thick and fast.

- unless the companies doing it are exempt, and as such, cant be sued over the practice.

That is what occurred in the US. The corporates, and inventers of the practice got all their duckies in a row first, then did the deeds.

The very department meant to investigate have not, will not and could not, as they had no mandate to. And now their department is shrinking, and funding drying up.

It has worked in the US, so look for the same 'template' to be used elsewhere.

In very low populated areas, off the radar, I guess they just move in and do their thing regardless.

Is it not fairly obvious that the two events must be directly related?


EXXON (Shell, Esso, MobilOil ..)
are in competition with BP/HALIBURTON ~ which are controlled and hence, in the pockets of TPTB?

Collectively, they have trillions and trillions of $$$ invested in international oilfields ~ the biggest investment programme the World has ever seen!

Now the Russians are partnering EXXON in place of BP?

On top of that, the pipeline that we are trying to block from Canada to Texas, to carry the oil sands (highly corrosive) would run right over the Oglala Aquifer, the largest fresh water aquifer in North America. These corporations are not famous for their pipeline maintenance. To me, fresh water is far more crucial than fuel.

According to a UK paper who shall remain nameless, but might be compared to a Rottweiler, authorities in Moscow have raided BP offices over the failed arctic drilling deal. Hmmmmm.

Shit it's here too. Was reading in the local paper about fracking. Then swa this latest topic on this thread then googled the above.
EQs in the South Island caused by fracking?
Immediately after the June EQ I was taking water from a backyard tap.
I could NOT drink it as it reeked of gas and tasted utterly foul.Undrinkable.
Fuck them!

Gas?

No sulphur?
 Quoting: fellowearthling


Petrol and oil taste.
I was going to use it for cooking and drinking but when I tasted it I just spat it out.
Others could smell it when I took a sample to the local Council office.
No smell of sulphur but that may have been masked.

Sulphur would probably indicate natural contamination? and possibly signify geo' instability, where as gas or petrolium might indicate man made cross over/contamination.
