Natural Gas Fracking Will Fuck Up Your World
Yet more evidence that natural gas is not only not the "clean, safe" member of the Lethal Fossil Fuel Club, but may be even more dangerous than ocean-killing oil and planet-boiling coal.
Erik Loomis at Lawyers, Guns and Money:NPR had a fantastic story on Friday about the relationship between fracking and the cluster of earthquakes earlier this year in Arkansas.
And also from Loomis, an awesome demonstration of the power of fracking poisons to kill whole forests:
Again, I just have a really hard time understanding why we don't trust the energy industry to look out for our best interests? In 2007, Berry Energy Inc. of Clarksburg began drilling a conventional, vertical gas well in a section of the Fernow Experimental Forest, a part of the Monongahela set aside for research. Adams said what unfolded over the next two years was an unexpected opportunity for observation.
Some results were expected, from deforestation and road damage to runoff and erosion. Others, including the dramatic die-off when wastewater was land-applied, were not.
I know I'm excited to see the destruction of New York forests through Andrew Cuomo approved fracking, not to mention the continued deforestation of wild, wonderful West Virginia.
Via West Virginia Blue.

Comment I thought the best line about fracking was quite succinct
