2015 quick summary of the reasons to say no to fracking.

The whole process is exempt from environmental laws in USA. Haliburton loophole and "not a single case". Never publically admitting liability.

Explosions from compressor stations = gas refineries.   All the various byproducts from the gas coming up.

Trucks in rural areas.

Number of wells per area.

VOCs and particulates In the air and fracking.

Dissolved solids in water and dodgy cleanup operations.

Water and waste management in the 21 century.

Water and waste management are going to be incredibly important in the 21 century.

Stop fracking the water away, stop nestle siphoning off millions of gallons for bottled water. Start real future city design on intelligent use of water. Dams = evaporation risk. Solar floats to stop the evaporation. Maybe a desalination plant. A purple pipe for washing clothes,cars and lawns, A reuse system that reuses bath water for the toilet. Theres a really challenging free course in doing atm that deals to with this.

Incompetence and greed. The fall of empires.

Incompetence and greed.   The fall of empires.

Was reading how Tina woke up and I try to remember how I woke up.

http://tinalouiseuk.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/but-what-do-you-hope-to-achieve.html

I remember this,  the first time I heard about fracking I thought "bloody stupid idea I hope they don't push it and see some sense" then I went back to sleep politically.

 I was perfectly aware of Noam Chomsky but felt that maybe consent did need to be manufactured in a complex democracy and was not impressed by the proponents of radical rural anarchism.  Every thing should be free but not my stuff brigade. Buy my book about revolution against capitalism for ten quid or more. Etc.

The one thing I was increasingly worried about was the water shortages.  The droughts.  

I also wondered when the housing market would crash / correct itself.

How could England have hosepipe bans?  

I realised it was a manufactured water crisis. Incompetence and greed.  Instead of building reservoirs and water management systems we were just building new houses on old reservoirs and older infrastructure. 

 Especially the last one which was a "drought" during one of the wetter summers we ever had,  water was pouring all over us and they were saying it was a drought.  Just a bit of rain still a drought.  

 On and on it rained. people got flooded out their houses.  "Funny drought we are having I used to say to people" as the rain poured over our heads.  That was the beginning of the loss of credibility towards the bbc and local radio for me.

Cameron was a green Tory remember? Got rid of the clown brown sell all the gold, save the world by printing money and bailing out banks excessive "new labour" everything seemed kinda ok.  Was a bit concerned that we were relying on the conservatives to curb the excesses of the bankers.

Lib dems promised and pledged an end to stupid loans for people's education.   To moderate and put the breakers on the conservatives.

Everything seemed ok and moderate in the world of politics.   Wasn't that keen on what was happening in the rise of the police state in America but thanked God and the queen that I didn't live in America or any other corrupt Republic.  Obama was going to change that BS anyway.   

2008 was the wake up call to stop all the London City madness with property price bubbles and rental Ponzi schemes. 

 We were all going to do something worthwhile with our lives like teach or be a doctor. Leave politics to the undesirables on all sides.

Then the frackers caused an earthquake near Blackpool and I thought "good that's the end of that!  They have pushed for a chance and proved themselves to be totally incompetent with an unsafe technology.  They have hung themselves with their own incompetence."  And again I went back to sleep politically.... And then the lies started.  All over the place relentless.  

Then They decided to prod balcombe, that's near my drinking water supply reservoir.

"It's all perfectly safe" came the comforting whisper on the media breeze,  and I just started getting angry.  of course it isn't safe don't tell me black is white and white is black. You caused a bloody earthquake the one and only time you tried to do it, dumped radioactive water in a canal and tried to cover it all up. Just google fracking and see what it's done to others.

"We have been fracking for 50 odd years without any problems" wth are you talking about you did the modern fracking once in Lancashire and caused "mild earth tremors" aka AN EARTHQUAKE.

"Gold plate regulations" what regulation, what enforcement, where are the liability bonds. Oh we phone them up on Friday we don't do site visits...

"Not a single case of fracking harming drinking water" and I discovered the haliburton loophole. No case because you were made exempt.

"Doesn't really use that much water three swimming pools or a golf course over a month" a golf course in a desert. That's per frack and you are talking of thousands of fracks.  Most of the water is lost to the water cycle and sequestered in the ground and the rest is some sort of radioactive salt water sludge.

"Well it's better than coal/ nuclear."   I would not want them in residential areas near our water supplies either.

"Quiet as a bubbling stream" and I saw traffic logs of all the trucks on rural roads in America.  The compressors.  The people living in misery near the flares.  The fireball accidents as trucks crashed or things blew up. The clouds of silica dust over kids play areas.  

The lies were relentless.   The mainstream media tried to spin it as nothing to worry about. Best thing ever think of all that money for the nations economy. 

 I started losing the shred of respect I had for the main stream media.

When stupid incompetent people lie to my face it triggers in me a need to correct them.

They are tainting so many institutions with their incompetence and greed.  The paid for academic shills.  The media.  The monarchy for allowing so many scumbags to operate and even give them honours. Mr suited and booted Lord Browne of cuadrilla for example.

The thing is there is still so many people asleep who kinda agree with the daily mail perspective on life.  Egged on by the elites to hate the skivers and the foreigners.

Now we have atos Maximus and ids.  Denying anything to do with sick people dying after being declared fit for work. Don't forget new labour started all that fit for work stuff rolling.

It reminds me of the 1930s and the rise of fascism through propaganda.

Water purification at point of use

At source water purification

There's a lot to be done in the world of water management.  Millions of lives could be saved by people boiling their water before drinking.   Boiling also gets rid of excess chlorine.   

Millions of lives could be saved by better food prep and hygiene.   Washing hands before cooking, making sure food such as cooked rice doesn't stay at room temperature for too long.

Boiling does not clean the water from some algaes eg Great Lakes,   In some cases boiling algae water can make the water more toxic.

Some methods to clean and desalinate water at point of use.

Professor Gustaf Olsson of the Lund University of Sweden has researched and published widely on the Water-Energy Nexus.    Olsson also mentions water cost of hydroelectric in africa through evaporation.    I wonder if this could be mitigated with solar panel covers floating on the water.   Possible impacts on wildlife and water quality i guess.

Just mix it with orange juice

"Just mix it with orange juice"

People make mistakes, accidents happen.

 Water companies may attempt to cover up mistakes to avoid liability.

 A buffer helps to catch these mistakes before people drink it. 

See this case study camelford.

Some idiot connected the wrong pipes and poisoned 20 thousand people.

People who phoned up to complain and report the accident where told there was nothing wrong and just to mix the water with orange juice.

Human canaries in the coal mine

Canaries in the coal mine.

The main reason to be hardline about it is watching the experiences of others who niavely  said yes to the gentle lies and then found their entire land, livelihood and living standards violated.    Fracking is all or nothing.   You cannot be a little bit fracked.    Once they are in across the threshold they do what they want.   That has been the experience everywhere else .

If ucg processes i.e. csg and fracking are such benevolent boons to a community why is it that in every area that it has been introduced there are vociferous locals saying they wish it had never been allowed in their locality?

42 DB bubbling stream or a library

Posted to this mooc ....  Re sound levels 42 db goal.

https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/shale-gas/todo/1632

42 DB. "A bubbling stream as quiet as a library."

42 db is a blatant lie.

Re noise, nuisance and public health .....   

It depends when and where the noise measurement is being taken.

This a deliberately misleading number.  Depending a great deal on distance and measuring at the quiet times of an operation.   

This just cannot be true for peak noise levels during the entire fracking drilling and production process.

42 db... That does not include flaring or noise from trucks.

It's good to set goals .... 

What are the financial penalties for breaching those sound boundaries? 

Will the dbs be monitored hourly? 

I recommend something like 1000 to 10000 pound fine every hour or part there of that the sound level limit is breached. To be paid to local residents affected.

Traffic noise is 70 to 90 dbs passing on street.

The diesel generators pump out that kind of noise. Approx 120 db.

The flaring can reach jet engine levels.  Approx 150 db. 

Realistically it has to be measured from people's gardens and their bedrooms.

Noise obeys the inverse square law so distance from residential is the key.   Double the distance and divide the noise by 4.

If we measure at origin noise levels easily above 100 db.

Examples of fracking noise

Locks keep honest people out of houses

Locks keep honest people out of houses.

Regulations keep honest companies liable. 

 Cuadrilla and Lord Browne have proven themselves to be dishonest.   

6 months of cover up to finally admit to "probably" causing earth "tremors"

I'm not sure how criticising lack of regulatory enforcement becomes a talk about energy outages as some means of justification for dumping toxic waste. 

Irrelevant correlations between shale gas and brownouts.  Maybe the next time someone dies from lack of power you can talk about how horrible wind turbines, solar panels and tidal barrages look.

If we don't want power outages we need to be putting a massive investment in renewables.   

Personally I am far more troubled by the amount of legal and illegal dumping of toxic waste from fracking on roads, fields, canals and rivers.

Investigative report on how waste water from fracking in the uk was dumped into the manchester ship canal.

In America they sprayed the waste on to roads and fields. Legally and illegally.
