the areas in Europe where the NAZI shale energy slave and death camps were operating are still contaminated. Robin Bush died of leukemia in an oil patch in Texas and her family moved and worked for the cure, allowing the deaths of countless children since 1953..pr lies and cover-ups cannot hide the body count.

Ignorance is bliss, hydraulic fracturing has been around for over 60 years and just like everything else it has advanced through the years. The amount of chemical used are small concentrations and is highly diluted in a thousand gallons of water. You need to do your research.

Hydraulic well fracturing on canada is the same process no different at all just one simple thing we run surface casing by that I simply mean we know where the water table is in that area so we case it so there is no possible way it can be contaminated Even more so when we use a oil or diesel base drilling mud so there's no possible way it can be contaminated, down in the United States you guys only run one casing set so it's very easy to see why through bad cement jobs where your cement is channeling more than likely due to well bores sloughing in once the casing is fracked gas can no migrate up the annulus of your casing through your cement and into your water table

Hey man, I totally agree with the greed of corporate america, and I don't support them, but I myself work in the energy industry so I can support my family. I agree with wanting a change for something better for our planet but until then I will do what I need to do to put food on the table. On the other hand, I disagree with hydraulic fracturing being damaging. Maybe you could fill me in on why so I can understand. Also if fracturing is elongated in Colorado, that would eliminate over 300,000 jobs and that would be significantly detrimental to its economy. Just saying...

i really like your song, Thom. i sit here on a spring night about 100 yards in front of a coal mine, and about 200 yards below a slurry pond that is many, many acres on the hill above me. it is Greene County, Pennsylvania. it is a beautiful, beautiful place. i do not know how many wells have been drilled. i know there are over 400 in just one of our townships. i know that there are hundreds of trucks every hour driving throughout our county hauling our fresh stream water to do the fracking, i know there are spaghetti dinners every month for someone newly diagnosed with cancer. i know that kidney cancer is supposed to be rare. i know that here in Greene County it is not.i know that there are soooo many people who care, like you. i know that we are the only hope. thank you for singing for this hope....that perhaps if we all notice, something can be done.

Powerful song!! I am Sicangu Lakota from White River, SD. Currently living in Mission, SD. Which lies within the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in south central South Dakota. We have just put up a spiritual camp as a peaceful protest against TransCanada Keystone pipeline. We are standing our ground against KXL and will continue to do so. The Lakota are indigenous to this land and territory. We have generations and generations of history here on our land and we will be here in our Tipi's and sweat lodges in opposition to the pipelines. We have been featured on MSNBC and soon ABC as well. We have a facebook page called Oyate Wahacanka Woecun which in Lakota means "Shielding the people. Check us out. Love this song!
