Fracking wider-spread in Romania than feared, according to activists who have collected a map

According to a blog post on the Frack Off Romania website, the hydraulic fracking activity near Pungesti Romania is not the only fracking activities in that country.  When I first started covering the anti-fracking protests in Pungesti, the activists claimed that Pungesti was the first instance of fracking in Romania,…

Romania secretly expands fracking after Pungesti protest against Chevron

Since October 2013 a remote village in Romania has been the site of increasingly difficult protests against a Chevron hydraulic fracturing operation, originally believed to be the only so-called fracking site in all of Romania. According to a report posted Sunday on the Frack Off Romania blog, activists have located…

Where’s my electric car coverage, and why the sudden interest in anti-fracking protests in Romania?

I want to answer – why am I covering the story of hydraulic fracturing protests in Pungesti Romania?  I normally cover electric vehicles, why am I suddenly covering fracking in Romania? To me these issues are tied together.  Generally speaking, hydraulic fracturing is a symptom of Peak Oil.  The resources for “conventional oil”…

Government still ensuring hydraulic fracturing happens in Pungesti, Romania, despite protests by villagers

Anti-fracking protests are continuing in Pungesti, Romania, despite government efforts to squash the protests so that Chevron can go about its desired business.  This may be the mechanism by which the presence of oil companies in a country causes governments to become draconian.  The local people don’t want the ick…
