Fracking News

Fracking waste in Johnson County creek headed for Joe Pool Lake

January 28, 2012 By TXsharon

As if this week hasn’t been crazy enough, last night WFAA reported that some more of that sophisticated technology of building dirt berms to contain toxic waste failed in the heavy rains.

Runoff from injection well site worries land owners

Please ignore the irony of the industry advertising before the video begins.

    When it rains it pours, spills , contaminates. Who would have ever thunk it, raining! – We didn’t plan for that! My question is why has BIG OIL & GAS started polluting America the way they have always treated third world countries? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duFXuRnd2CU
    Is it the rise of international companies that no longer feel obligated to protect their host countries or what?

    Building a new pipeline has resulted in topography changes that lead to flooding in parts of Ft. Worth:

    What if a sinkhole opens up under that major gas pipeline?
    What happens when a Hermine type hurricane hits? FYI, pipelines have had “issues” from flooding, like the San Jacinto River in east Texas in 1994:
