Gasland, talks about the potential dangers of fracking
..benzene, toluene, xylene. You know, the residents on the ground and everywhere that I went where this is a problem, chemicals migrating into the water supply from the drilling process. I mean, the natural gas industry maintains that this was naturally occurring.
However, the jury is still out about what kinds of gases liberates. When you’re doing this – this is not supposed to be occurring at all. Gas is not supposed to be migrating into people’s water supply from all that way down. Chemicals in the fracking process are not supposed to be found in wells as we found them in Wyoming. So something is up. Something is going on.
And the – I happen to trust the citizens on the ground who are saying, look, our water wasn’t flammable before. They came and did a frack job, all of a sudden, our water is flammable. And what we’re asking for are detailed investigations.

Let’s get culture shock out of the way first. When I went to blog what was topical this morning you would swear it was a plot from an Irwin Allan TV disaster movie…or six.

There are blogging groups – yep,plural – devoted to exposing frackking as a threat to life. I’m talking Texas, Pennsylvania and who knows where.I even found one circulating in Texas where dioxins from the polluted Trent Canal are to spread over freshwater sites. I think Bluebloggin had that, though the site is on hiatus.Texas Sharon has been at the topic for quite a while. I found him through coverage of Texas Progressive Bloggers.
More particularly you probably need to see http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2010/05/18-may-gas-wells-are-not-our-friends.html
I’ve included a searchbar for the blog on the sidebar. Further hints probably come from Del.icio.us tags or skimming the article index. That’s easier to access OPIT – if you use Opit Online in the Topical Index.
