Trump administration reopens leasing of federal lands in California for fracking

October 7, 2019 October 7, 2019

Back in 2013 a plan to start fracking on Federal lands in California was stopped by a lawsuit. Rather than it being a final victory that permanently banned fracking in California, the Bureau of Land Management launched a process to redesign the plan to satisfy the judgement in the lawsuit.…

The UN Climate Summit, the COP meeting, is currently underway in Bonn Germany.  At that meeting California’s Gov. Jerry Brown told a group of native americans protesting his stance on Fracking “Let’s put you in the ground so we can get on with the show here.”  That’s caused a bit of…

October 12, 2016 October 12, 2016

According to stolen/hacked/leaked emails, Hillary Clinton claimed in 2014 that anti-fracking groups were being funded by Russia (Putin).  The emails came from John Podesta’s email account, and are transcripts of a private speech she gave on June 18, 2014, sponsored by tinePublic, a Canadian promotional group. According to the leaked email,…

Clinton says she’d essentially ban fracking, her record on promoting fracking says otherwise

March 6, 2016 March 7, 2016

In tonight’s Democratic Party Presidential Debate (hosted by CNN on March 6, 2016) we had another round of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders having a most interesting policy debate.  Compare this to the Republican Party debates, the latest one had a long segment concerning penis sizes and manliness, and it’s…

The Hunt for Fossil Fuel on Anticosti Island — Fracking on a remote Canadian island paradise

December 9, 2015 December 9, 2015

This island in a remote part of Quebec has, until lately, been a paradise of woods and wildlife.  The biggest industry was hunting and fishing and farming.  Recently, frackable shale deposits have been found on Anticosti Island, and the oil companies have descended upon the island.  Currently they’re drilling exploratory…

Fracking may be returning to Romania, Oil & Gas summit scheduled for March 2016

October 16, 2015 October 16, 2015

Fracking for natural gas (gazelor de sist) is apparently coming back to Romania.  During 2013 and 2014, Chevron started exploratory fracking operations in the region of Romania known as Moldova, while facing down intense anti-fracking protests.  After several months during which Chevron managed to start drilling, completed an exploratory well, taking…

Shell, Chevron, pull out of fracking deals in Ukraine citing the war with Separatists and Russia

June 11, 2015 June 20, 2015

About a year ago I penned some blog posts about the shale gas fracking deals which were made by Ukraine during 2013, prior to the revolution which ousted then-President Yanukovych.  There are large shale deposits in Eastern Europe, in Ukraine, Romania, Poland and the Baltic Countries, which are believed to be frackable.…

Today, after a review and commenting process of over 200 days in which 1.5 million individuals and groups sent in comments, the US Department of Interior (Bureau of Land Management, a.k.a. BLM) released a Rulemaking covering hydraulic fracking operations on public lands in the USA. The promise being made is…

Chevron relinquishes fracking in Romania, as part of broader pull-out from Eastern European fracking operations

February 22, 2015 June 14, 2015

A year ago I made several posts about Chevron’s plans to begin fracking operations in Romania’s portion of Moldova.  News surfaced on Friday that Chevron has relinquished interests in drilling frackable shale fields in Romania (and other countries), completely ending all of Chevron’s work on shale gas fracking in Eastern…

While the climate fries, Obama boasts he’s the Fracker in Chief, barely mentions clean energy technology

January 22, 2015 April 29, 2015

The other day, President Obama gave the 2015 State of the Union speech before Congress, the newly Republican Controlled Congress.  Where Obama focused on the value of middle class economics, that is focusing on the needs of the middle class and strengthening the middle class, did he talk the things…

Fracking, as a peak oil symptom, dictates complete financial collapse unless “we” wean ourselves off fossil fuels

January 18, 2015 April 13, 2015

What’s the driving force of the economy?  That is, what is it that gives value to our money?  Yes, the value of money is based on agreements such as international money exchanges through FOREX desks, but what’s the underlying force giving value to money?  Let me suggest that it is…

NY Times’ circumstantial evidence Romanian anti-frackers on Russian payroll

December 1, 2014 June 3, 2015

  Allegations have resurfaced that Anti-Fracking activists in Europe are on Russia’s payroll, according to a NY Times news article.  That article focuses on the anti-fracking protest focused on Pungesti Romania, which I’ve covered in-depth last winter.  The claim is that if the anti-frackers are successful in banning fracking, they’re…

Romania’s PM admits hoped-for fracked natural gas bonanza may not exist, despite fighting protesters hard to protect Chevron

November 11, 2014 June 13, 2015

Last winter saw an intense fight in Romania over Chevron’s plan to drill exploratory hydraulic fracking wells near Pungesti.  It’s now possible, according to Romania Prime Minister Victor Ponta, that it will all be for naught, that there are no natural gas riches to be had in Romania’s shale region.…

Hillary Clinton’s State Department started the ball rolling on Fracking the World

September 11, 2014 March 6, 2016

Hillary Clinton is almost certainly going to run for President, and she’ll almost certainly be a polarizing figure.  She may even win, but we have to be clear on a couple things:  Hillary Clinton will be pushing fracking, not only in the U.S. but around the world.  How do we…

Are Fracking bans a legal Taking of land use rights? What’s the most legal/effective way to stop fracking?

July 28, 2014 June 14, 2015

It’s clear to me that hydraulic fracking, or acidizing, or any of the similar techniques to break up shale deposits, extract oil and natural gas, continuing the age of oil, all that’s a bad idea and we collectively need to stop the practice and instead, as a society, embrace renewable…
