From Oil Fields to Gas Pools: What's Not Included In The Regulations For Industry The term “oil field regulations' comes up repeatedly and often, throughout the day. Never mentioned, are the terms “gas wells”, or the “surface map boundary” of “pools” (legally defined in mineral rights) which is how Natural Gas development by hydraulic fracture drilling by “community or forced pooling' and eminent domain occur, but which may not in California constitute a “field”. Horizontal, deviant, or directional drilling operations can drill in several directions for miles, from one we...

California Fracking: High Risk and a Real Crisis of Confidence “Make the distinction between fracking for oil and fracking for gas. The oil industry is running around saying, those are the problems you have with gas development in the east, but the regulations that you put into place called 'fracking' shouldn't matter that the technology changes, you don't know that they may be fracking for gas in ten years around here. The expansion of fracking brings with it new challenges.” Senator Bill Monning...

Sen. Roberson versus the (SNWA) water monster Speaking out against the powerful Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) can have consequences, though some individuals like Steve Sisolak (D) and Mike Roberson (R) are putting their careers at risk in order to protect the spring fed ecosystems in Snake Valley, NV that would be destroyed by the SNWA pipeline....

Fracking California: A Casual Concern? A fracking study was a requirement of the June 2011 settlement that was facilitated by the County of Los Angeles and agreed to by plaintiffs, who had sued both the County and PXP. The Baldwin Hills Study made industry headlines. But anyone following the news on high-volume horizontal/deviant slick water hydraulic fracturing (HVHDSW HF) will immediately recognize the limitations in the Inglewood/Baldwin Hills PXP study:...

“Disgusting Draft” Of California Hydraulic Fracturing Regulations DOGGR has falsely presented the nature of the activities covered by - and thereby the actual need for “new Regulations” and thusly the applicability of said regulations, to the Public and the State of California. From definitions that neither match what is effectively legal in terms of law nor the industry standards of related new technology processes, linguistics and terminology, Californians will be left considering the wrong regulations....

Water Theft from Aquifers Benefit Developers at Expense of Ecosystems Water theft from rural aquifers for the short term benefit of Las Vegas developers is a crime against the ecosystems and human communities that depend upon their water for survival. The theft of the aquifer water by SNWA is a sequel of the Owens Valley water grab by LADWP nearly a century ago. Any ELF actvists looking for training sites have over 200 miles of practice targets if this pipeline goes through. Maybe someone should send LADWP a message that water theft can be stopped by preventing...

Vulgar Materialism: The Madness of Growth and the Casino Renouncing on growth or tolerating a shriveling economy is hard. Greece is a shocking example. Many people cut down the last trees because they could not afford heating oil. Nature is the first victim in an economic crisis. Whole generations are traumatized and may turn to a supposed rescuer if new jobs do not arise soon. We must bid farewell to growth if we don't want our environment to be completely ruined....

Natural Gas Supply Outpacing Demand Growth - Ban Exports of LNG How can the US “high-volume high pressure” production of (fracked) LNG be the cheapest on the global market? Maybe it's because the water is free. The sand is free. Ban fracking sand mining now! Sand mining for purposes of fracking will likely become a controversial issue this Legislative session (2013) And the 'fracking fluid' is probably leftover industrial waste, a liability turned to asset. It's the Tao Of The Corporate Way. We Oppose Unless They Disclose (Monterey slogan)...
