I like it that these productions are coming out, first the climate scientist song and now this fracking sing along. This doesn’t mention the radioactivity released into the gas when the shale rock is fracked. It astonishes all the damage the Bush II administration has enabled. The scale of it is what is so disturbing, from the air to the seas to the rocks below, not even mentioning all the social damage from the wars, and the neglect of physical infrastructure, and education, and healthcare. I wonder if we will survive these next few decades as the results accumulate, and then cascade into unstoppable disasters worldwide. Do I exaggerate? I live within sight of a more than 40 year old nuclear power plant. It’s licensing has been renewed for another 20 years, and since it’s the same design as Three Mile Island…all should just be peachbottom keeno…right?

LEAD-HEAD REDUX

The French government, yesterday, forbade fracking using known pollutants.

It did not forbid fracking entirely - but it wants a “controlled process” that avoids polluting underground supplies of water. And according to French law, Polluters Will Pay ... heavily, so as to make illegal the “flecking-fracking” non-viable commercially.

That Cheney is behind the “loopholes” will surprise no one. He’s Lead-head Redux, a metal so dense as to be impervious to sound sense.
