The Facts About Fracking

 I'm no expert but I like to inform myself and I like to share what I find with others. It is my hope that in doing this together we can make the world better and a true paradise. We are clearly not there yet. It is scary to think about the massive hole/grave others are digging for us and at the same time telling us it is to benefit us. I really don't understand how those people think. There are so many green alternatives so it is really frustrating why a bunch of people are being so stubborn and set in their ways. I don't understand why governments subsidize certain things when that money would be better elsewhere. It is okay to close one chapter or even a book to start a new one. It is this group of backward thinkers that we need to enlighten before it is too late and also people who have the best intentions but are not aware of what information is out there. As great as it is to align with like minded people they are not the ones ultimately in the end I hope to reach as they are already on board.

On the issue of employment it might be an idea that not too many jobs need be lost if workers can switch over to the green sustainable renewable energy side of things. There might be a gap where some might need training in a new area but there will be job openings available at the other end. We can't be too short sighted on that. We still need some form of energy. We're not suddenly going to go without. It could maybe just be in some other form. So there is room for expanding, job employment, profits, providing energy, all the good things but without the devastating ruin. Sure everybody has the right to be able to afford to eat, have shelter, education, ability to get from A to B etc but that should not be at the expense of the environment or the people directly effected by detrimental consequences of continuing on a path to hell.  All I hear are excuses. 

Land ownership law is pretty scary/sketchy. One can go purchase land but not the ownership of what is beneath the surface. Any company can intrude and mine its resources and the land owner has no rights to stop it. Crazy huh? You can't even buy your own patch of paradise without the fear looming over you that any day someone is going to stop by, stomp all over your dreams and destroy everything in sight and whatever they can get their hands on. It then becomes uncomfortable and  unenjoyable at the surface in which case land owners could cite such as a case against the intruders. However at that point paradise is lost and it's a case of too little too late. The damage has been done.

I have to disagree with 2.11 "ownership limited to some extent, - which is the situation with land since it cannot be destroyed)." The land might still be there but not in the same quality. Land can most definitely be destroyed if once something could grow and be healthy and then later that no longer be the case. There is such a thing as soil degradation and desertification. Or the soil could become contaminated with toxic chemicals and poisons etc. If the land is not fit for use anymore then it can be destroyed. Of course you can't burn it into ashes and blow it away upon the wind. You can't break it into pieces and throw it in the bin to be carted away. Well you can if you dig a big mine! That is destroying land. Who created the content for 2.11? It definitely needs to be revised.
I love the way that it is the owner's responsibility to use their land in such a way as to not injure their neighbour but what about the intruders mining resources since they are not the owners?

The other scary thing is that they want to get their hands on land which is used for crops for us to eat so any environmental devastation in such an area is going to be a hefty price to pay for such carelessness. There is only so much viable arable land for crops so to deliberately set about implementing something that has such high risks is foolish to say the least and that land once destroyed would take far too long to recover. The same goes for fresh water pollution in aquifers etc. We have a limited supply of fresh drinking water. These are basic survival resources, resources which are far more important to protect than anything we could risk them for. Not only is water scarce but why waste it in the first place during the fracking process.

I'm not into economics or stocks. I've always said I'd rather invest in property than stocks if I ever had enough to invest. I like real tangible things as opposed to something that could crash and dissolve into nothing. I wouldn't mind if we were all living in little tribe villages and were about subsistence farming and living. So I of course have never held certain views and have not been duped by any clever marketing ploys. That patch of paradise has always been a day dream of mine.

Coal Seam Gas is methane. Methane is a contributor to global warming. I remember the commercials on TV urging consumers to go beef free as cows produce methane gas as a way to help reduce global warming. Why is gas touted as being a clean energy when urging the public to switch over from coal energy?
