Fracking News

NATO Parliamentary Assembly and fracking

June 25, 2013 By TXsharon

Dear Readers,

Guess what I did today. Give up?

I gave a presentation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on “A Grassroots Perspective of Unconventional Oil and Gas.” Deborah Rogers was there too with a presentation on “The Economics of Shale Wells: A Critical Perspective” aka the “Drilling Treadmill.” Thank you to my friends at the Lone Star Chapter, Sierra Club for making the arrangements for us to be there.

The NATO members were shocked by the information and pictures we presented. The dignitaries from Romania remarked that they couldn’t believe this is happening in America. We concurred with their dismay. They asked why Americans aren’t out protesting and talked about the 15,000 Romanians who were out in the streets protesting against fracking. I think that’s a good question. Where the hell are you?

The dignitary from France had similar remarks and recommended that the U.S. follow the precautionary principle they way France does.  We completely agree with France—vive la France! Deborah read him the following Rex Tillerson quote:

Well, that is a very dangerous exchange to get into because where it leads you from a regulatory and policy standpoint is to govern by the precautionary principle. And the precautionary principle will absolutely undermine the economy.”

Tillerson continued: “If you want to live by the precautionary principle, then crawl up in a ball and live in a cave.”

It was wonderful to meet these thoughtful world leaders.

To the man from Alberta who was hostile and painted such a rosie picture of fracking in Alberta:  I would like for you to meet Alberta Neighbor and  Another Alberta Neighbour and you might want to read this: Contamination of North America’s Groundwater from Fracking (Hydraulic Fracturing) Revealed in a New Case History Catalogue

    Hi Sharon,

    Hostility and lies, seems to be a trend that’s really taking off here, I would like to apologize for his poor behaviour and I’m going to have a word with his mother. Unacceptable.

    Thanks for chatting the Romanians and the French, sounds like a very productive day …

    Have a lovely evening.

    Then there’s Texas. Where the hell are we? Have those 15,000 Romanians already signed mineral leases with gas operators? And did their Church?

    In Texas, fossil fuel is connected to Jesus Christ. For many Texans, we do not come to Eternal Life except through Him. Therefore, we do not come to Eternal Life unless we also allow heavy, industrial mining operations AKA Drilling/Fracking operations over, around and through our community. “”Til Death Do Us Part…” Amen.

        🙂 Then there’s: “Supernatural Gas,” the Pastor Says… This video is no joke. It’s what we’re dealing with in our state. Maybe we need the Romanians to think of us when they are protesting…and help (some) of us figure out how to counteract the bizarre ideology that has taken over the minds and hearts of so many of our fellow Texans. Amen. Again.

          Love one another and care about each others’ needs unless their need for a healthy, safe environment gets in the way of our “Supernatural Gas.” In that case, screw you!
