8 May - 'Hot' Water News

 Radoxist Studios


'Water - Wealth & Power' and "Energy' ( listed in the Topical Index ) both have fracking articles. The arrival of  http://www.facebook.com/WaterDefense to the fray just seemed too good an opportunity to miss to add to resource material. Current returns from spiders in the sidebar are at the bottom.

Speaking at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania at a conference for the trustees from the 14 Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education schools, Corbett said six universities on the Marcellus shale formation could open to drilling.
While NY may be the first state to put a hold on fracking, they allow other states to DUMP THEIR WASTE here. Waste that contains radioactive Radium 226 among the cocktail of other deadly chemicals.

As gulf residents cope with the catastrophe that began 1 year ago, BP just scored a $10 billion dollar tax windfall by writing their cleanup and restoration costs off their 2010 taxes. As our government implements massive budget cuts, BP shouldn't be writing off its destruction of our Gulf.
What are the main issues that you're working on with Water Defense?
Though we have access to taps and toilets here in the United States we are not exempt from [the contaminated water] problem. Our water is becoming increasingly polluted and we are getting sicker for it. The main issue we're tackling is fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, which is a dangerous form of drilling for natural gas. We're trying to keep fracking out of our watersheds and our communities as well as debunk the myth that natural gas is a cleaner form of energy than coal.
