I've heard rumors that fracking is being considered here in New Brunswick and have to admit I've not given it too much thought. Fracking is like the arrival of nuclear energy - the common person never really has any say in the manner, nuclear plants just started popping up all over the place around the world and so it is becoming with fracking. It's kind of ironic isn't it that Japan had a huge nuclear melt down not so long ago - of all the countries in the world that tasted first hand at Hiroshima what it was like to behold the deadly devastation of a nuclear blast, that they would have allowed a nuclear plant to be built on Japanese soil. I'd have thought the population would have walked the streets with placards and banners banning such a procedure but what the frack - money and what it can buy is such an evil fracking trap - frack me - when all the resources are used up and there isn't a breath of fresh air, not a drop of fracking water to drink, not a tree left standing or a crop growing - what the frack will a dollar be worth then?
What sort of people are our politicians and why the frack are they supporting such diabolic methods of creating energy? It's very obvious that the only interests they hold dear are to themselves and that must be the supreme joke on them because they are just as fracking doomed as the rest of us fracking idiots who actually take the time to vote for them. And I wonder why I haven't been that interested in voting and for years never voted - well I know why - as long as I've been old enough to vote, I've never seen a prime minister yet who has actually really done anything worthwhile other than strutting around looking important and backing all the wrong mandates - since when should business and the economy be a fracking priority - the well being of this planet and all its inhabitants should be the main agenda.
Frack - I'm getting fracking angry and I don't know what to do about it so before I really begin to fracking blabber, I'm going to end this fracking blog - cheers - eh!

Thank you for bring attention to this practice. This summer I met someone who is working on a project to do this in Our Ocean's. ( in Europe) Can you imagine the cost to sea life! If it is outside the limits can it be stopped? Will it be here next? How can we the people make enough public pressure to stop this now!
ReplyDeleteI also met someone this summer who was going to work on one of the fracking projects here in Canada and what I found really disturbing was when he said, "I realize its very harmful but the money is too good to turn down." This is a very sad statement and I think it's a common one that draws many of the workers, especially when work for a decent dollar is hard to come by. But is the money earned really worth it when the deadly toxic pollution it creates eventually takes a toll that endangers not only the workers but also any creature (people included) living in the area.
ReplyDeleteThe oceans from what I understand are already in dire straits - did you know that there is a large continually growing island of plastic containers floating in the centre of the Pacific Ocean? What the frack! If fracking, this diabolical and inhuman procedure is allowed to happen in the oceans, I feel we might as well kiss our asses goodbye - without water we're all doomed. As far as I know, each country that is situated at the edge of the oceans has a 200 mile border that belongs to them - beyond that reach, I think it's up for grabs, at least I have no idea what laws, if any, govern that portion of the oceans. I wish I had an answer to bringing fracking to an immediate halt but when our own leaders, and I've really heard none of them speak out against fracking that has been very meaningful, I'm sort of at a loss at how to stop this procedure. Perhaps the only way to twist our leaders arms and force them to take notice and do the rightful thing, is by each one of us banding together and protesting, putting public pressure on our fracking so called political leaders to get some fracking balls and say NO to the fracking companies that are causing the destruction of our Earth and make them accountable for their actions like any other two-bit criminal!
