If you want to continue recommending diaries full of navel gazing and pootie tats while important posts like this one get nudged off the recommended list due to yet another GBCW diary, then you better BOKYAGB (bend over and kiss your ass goodbye) because this is the shit they are legally pumping into our water.
Five Well-Drilling Workers Exposed To Contaminant On Job
At 10:15 a.m., the hospital was given a heads-up that they had five patients coming in, who had been exposed to commercial battery acid from a methane well drilling accident.
"They were pumping the material into the well site and apparently it splashed back onto the individuals and it also vaporized, creating the problem that we had here today," said Chief Larry Couch with the New Martinsville Fire Department.
In my post Close the Halliburton Loophole I gave you a simple action to take that will go a long way to prevent this type of reckless endangerment of public safety by an out of control industry. I even gave you a sample letter and a link to the addresses.
DAMNIT! Write that letter! I've got kids and horses and dogs and goats! They need to drink water!
As my dear friend, Boadicea said: War 4 oil is nothing compared to war 4 H2O. (or something like that)
I can't say a whole lot because I live in Texas where just this week every stinking one of our reps EXCEPT...
Lon Burnham
and
Jessica Farrar
voted to continue the state regulation of hydraulic fracturing fluids, which is just the same as saying, "Keep pouring that benzene in their water as long as I get my campaign money."
So, it's up to you guys.
Lon and Jessica, you can expect my thank you check in the mail.
