Fracking mess for YOU! K?
A fracking mess awaits us all. David Cameron is pushing fracking on our green and pleasant land. You and I and the whole country will pay the price.
The fracking mess, the damage done.
The damage is already done at many fracking sites. Fracking has stopped but the environmental damage is done. The damage is irreversible and long term. Drinking water is polluted for future generations.
Fracking destroying water supplies
Excerpt from Desmogblog.com
Nearly 3 billion gallons of waste water were illegally injected into central California aquifers. Half of the water samples collected have high levels of dangerous chemicals. Arsenic, a known carcinogen that can also weaken the human immune system was found. Thallium, a toxin used in rat poison was also found in the water.
Timothy Krantz is a professor of environmental studies at the University of Redlands. He says these chemicals could pose a serious risk to public health. “The fact that high concentrations are showing up in multiple water wells close to wastewater injection sites raises major concerns about the health and safety of nearby residents.”
MORE DAMAGE – A video we all need to see:

CAMERON CONTINUES PUSH FOR FRACKING.
From sumofus website:
Cameron close to fracking firms
A massive 40,000 people formally objected to proposals to change trespass laws so that fracking companies can extract oil and gas from under people’s land without permission. Showing utter disdain for democracy, the government has decided to ignore this outpouring of public opposition, and go ahead with changing the law in favour of the frack-happy 1%.
All this to get gas from the ground we do not need and must stop using.
WE CAN HAVE FREE ENERGY TODAY
In the UK wind, sun, bio-mass, heat from the earth, and tidal and wave forces can each provide a vast and constantly replenished energy supply. These diverse sources of renewable energy have the technical potential to provide the electricity nation needs.
The Union of Concerned Scientists website has a nice article about this.
