So much that is wrong with the world today. There are more causes to fight for than people have time for.

Interesting list. I dont believe anything Gore pushes. The guy is heavily invested into green tech and carbon trading schemes. His motive isnt pure.

not a Gore fan by any means.....but those that don't believe in global warming are idiots.....same people that thought the Financial industry and oil drilling were ok....Why?....because they could not see it until it was too late....they then blamed someone else

This is a huge issue where I live on the western slope in Colorado. We have one of the biggest natural gas deposits in the nation just a few miles from where I live, that extends into Utah and Wyoming. They do a lot of fracturing drilling. People don't drink the water in a town 20 mi from me. Encana gas company keeps telling us it's good for the local economy to have them here.

The following was from an article that speaks about the county I live in, scary shit.

Quote:

Industry officials say they use such tiny amounts of chemicals in the drilling – of the million or so gallons of liquid pumped into a well, only a fraction of one percent are chemicals – that they are diluted beyond harmful levels. But on some fracturing sites that tiny percentage translates to more than 10,000 gallons of chemicals, and Colborn believes even very low doses of some of the compounds can damage kidney and immune systems and affect reproductive development.

In Garfield County, there were signs this was already happening. Animals that had produced offspring like clockwork each spring stopped delivering healthy calves, according to Liz Chandler, a veterinarian in Rifle, Co. A bull went sterile, and a herd of beef cows stopped going into heat, as did pigs. In the most striking case, sheep bred on an organic dairy farm had a rash of inexplicable still births -- all in close proximity to drilling waste pits, where wastewater that includes fracturing fluids is misted into the air for evaporation.

Among Colborn’s list of nearly 300 chemicals -- some known to be cancer-causing -- is a clear, odorless surfactant called 2-BE, used in foaming agents to lubricate the flow of fracking fluids down in the well. Colborn told Congress in 2007 [7] that it can cause adrenal tumors.

Laura Amos, who suffered from such a tumor, pressed Encana on whether the compound had been used to fracture the well near her house. For months the company denied 2-BE had been used. But Amos persisted, arguing her case on TV and radio. In January 2005, her lawyers obtained documents from Encana showing that 2-BE had, in fact, been used in at least one adjacent well.

"Our daughter was only six months old when fracturing blew up our water well," Amos wrote in a letter to the Oil and Gas Accountability Project [8], an anti-drilling group. "I bathed her in that water every day. I also continued breast-feeding her for 18 more months...If there was a chemical in my body causing my tumor, she was exposed to it as wel
