The Fracking Diviners of Hydraulic
Fracturing
When the energy required to extract Oil exceeds the work that that Oil can accomplish, it would then be pragmatic to say, "we are out of Oil". Right now, the long term damage done by Hydraulic Fracturing far exceeds the work that the oil is doing (temporarily feeding an out-of-control population boom).

The Fracking Diviners took one forked stick apiece, doused as
their forefathers and foremothers had doused before them, and said, “let there
be 999+ fracking chemicals injected and stored behind make-shift dams, here!” Did you know that every time you turn on the stove, a politician gets his (or her) "Halo?" It is not like any of them walk on water...
Most of the planet’s Petroleum Oil and Natural Gas Hydraulic
Fracturing as export businesses is in Argentina, Canada, China and the US (so
far); but these four countries are only part of the greater Who’s Who of Fracking. Russia, Algeria and a large handful of other countries
also stand ready to squander their greatest natural resource (drinking, cooking
and bathing water) to merely “keep the lights on, overnight”. North
America is lit up like a Christmas Tree while 95% of us are in R.E.M. sleep, so
let us frack?
Technically Recoverable Shale Oil locations (most to least volume): Russia, USA, China, Argentina, Libya, Australia, Venezuela, Mexico,
Pakistan and Canada.
Technically Recoverable Shale Gas locations (most to least volume): China, Argentina, Algeria, USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Russia and
Brazil.
Fracking fits right in with other more familiar dirty-business
models; the common modality is one short payoff, and hundreds, thousands
blowback filth, illness and death. We turn our lights on while we sleep now,
and we drink bottled “drinking, cooking and bath” water from Pepsi, Nestle and
Coca-Cola for the next thousand years.
Hydraulic Fracturing’s (Fracking’s) list of 1000+ toxic and
carcinogenic chemicals in our drinking water fits the modality of our man-made
Apocalypse: 4.6 billion-year half-life nuclear filth, global deforestation,
farm pesticides, species extinction, chemical fertilizers, etc.
This is their old headline legacy:
George W. Bush and "Halliburton Loophole" and
America's Dirty Fracking Boom.

planet.

The 2011 document, “Chemicals Used in Hydraulic
Fracturing” from the U.S. House of
Representatives is whitewashed (greenwashed). Table 3 on Page 8 is alarmingly
incomplete. A better source of Fracking chemical ingredients (Table S1 and S2, ear the end) information
is Hydraulic Fracturing
Chemicals - Universität Tübingen. The
U.S. House of Representative’s study and the Fracturing Chemicals - Universität
Tübingen study, by comparison, indicates the Legislature’s greenwash
preference.
Fracking requires huge volumes of water for
each petroleum well – water that
is often needed for other uses or
to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems.
At least 239 billion gallons of water have
been used in fracking since
2005, an average of 3 million gallons per well. [1]
In an analysis of more than 1,000 chemicals in fluids used in
and created by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), Yale School of Public Health
researchers found that many of the substances have been linked to reproductive
and developmental health problems, and the majority had undetermined toxicity
due to insufficient information.[2]
Further exposure and epidemiological studies are urgently needed
to evaluate potential threats to human health from chemicals found in fracking
fluids and wastewater created by fracking, said the research team in their paper, published Jan. 6, 2016
in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental and Epidemiology. [3]
Peak Oil - The Internet is filled with numerous, erroneous,
misleading and uninformed articles asking whether “Peak Oil” was Tuesday, Feb
3, 2011, or if it is on Dec 12, 2025. Peak Oil articles are a bit like digging
a vast hole, throwing your groceries into said hole in increments and asking
which day you have the most food being prepared. The various charts and graphs,
whether by mistake or by design, fail to illuminate the large panorama.
Peak Oil (and Peak Natural Gas) are not the relevant information
unless you invest in a Petroleum Ponzi Scheme. World Population is
projected to reach eight billion by
2024–2030. According to current projections, the world's population is likely
to reach around nine billion by
2035–2050, with alternative scenarios ranging from a low of 7.4 billion to
a high of more than 10.6 billion.
Imagine one giant, global hourglass. In the top is oil,
funneling through the venturi in the middle. The narrow neck venturi (the
farming industrial complex) coverts oil into food being thrown into a hole (our
diet).
Oil and Gas supply is an ever-smaller amount. “Peak Oil” gives a
misrepresentation of an eternal abundance that is not there. Humans born to eat
more food are rising as an “X” axis and oil supply left in the ground (burned
away) is a descending “Y” axis. There will never, ever be enough oil and gas to
feed everyone “forever”. It is better to ask, when is “Bust Oil”, when do the
eaters vastly outnumber the frackers.
When is “Bust Water”, when does the polluted
supply of water (do not forget Rare Earth mine and mill water pollution)
supersede the number of thirsty drinkers.
Nearly all of the “Peak Oil” articles and papers treat fossil
fuels as if it is in double-infinite supply; almost none deal with the reality
of *Leak Oil*. Oil leaks into farm Combines, planes, trains and food-delivery
18-wheelers. We eat, drink and breed. Each generation has less oil supply and
more useless, ravenous eaters. In 1986, General Motors reassuringly stated that
‘in 17 years, our trucks will run on Nitrogen”. All you need to remember is 34
years later we are still leaking oil and gas and fracking carcinogens. Our food
and water are oil-powered, coal and gas-powered. All of these are permanent
stains in what we drink, and increasingly, residues (pesticides) in what we
eat. Do you see any food delivery big rigs and farm combines running on
Nitrogen or “Solar”?
Would you like a glass of water, containing (just the tip of the
iceberg)?
1,1,1,2-Tetrachloroethane 11,1-Dichloropropene 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane 1,2-Dibromoethane (EDB) 1,2-Dichloroethane 1,4-Dichlorobenzene |
2-Chlorotoluene 4-Isopropyltoluene (p-Cymene) Benzene Bromobenzene Bromochloromethane Bromodichloromethane Carbon tetrachloride 40 Chlorobenzene |
The Chemical Manufacturers Association claims the fracking
chemicals list is a copyrighted work, that you may read it but you may not
publish or cite it. The list above was obtained via the Dissertation by
Hoelzer.
Those seeking to learn “what chemicals are in fracking fluid”
are stymied by bureaucrats, red tape, “copyright violations,” etc., but also by
the sheer volume of toxins. The political/Mainstream Media and
military-industrial-multinational-Zionist-complex will tell you that the
“chemicals are safe” but refuse to make complete lists available for
publication. It is not atypical, for instance, to encounter “in our
tests”, bisphenol A/epichlorohydrin oligomers were “found to be mostly
harmless”.
Fracking for oil and gas follows a business model: uncork the
7-vials of the Apocalypse, then keep uncorking more. Any amount of
drinking/cooking/bathing water destruction is “worth it,” as long as there is
some golden drop of nectar worth a single Shekel. This scenario is
non-renewable, *anti*-sustainable. Naturalists need to stop stammering out the
words, “non-sustainable” when they probably mean Anti-Sustainable. There are a small handful of “industries” that
are Pro-Death. Pro-Death is Anti-Sustainable.
So, the legacy of our Czars
of Commerce and Profit will be making much of the planet resemble Flint,
Michigan’s bottled water program. Our Fracking Diviners can see their way to
destroying drinking water, but cannot see to preserving this one essential for
all life Worldwide. When did, or will, Leak
Oil occur? When is the tipping point when the food grid has no oil 10.6
Billion Humans and the soil too saturated with Chemical Fracking Chemicals to
slake their thirst?
The areas where fracking is most
profitable include the Great Plains
from Canada south into Texas, the Great
Lakes region and an area known as the Marcellus
Shale, which reaches from central
New York into Ohio and south to Virginia, according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration. [5]
The Ogallala Aquifer is the largest in the United States. It is part of
the High Plains aquifer system, which
underlies parts of eight
states from Texas to South Dakota. [6]
Rhetorically, why did the Fracking Czars allow the
most profitable fracking/underground coal gasification plants to almost perfectly
geographically matching the largest underground aquifer (Ogallala)? It almost
seems as if five of the most powerful men (and a few others like them) are running city council meetings in Podunk,
Vermont instead of killing the pre-historic High Plains Aquifer System. Nobody
looks at the hourglass aspect and gets it that it is a one-way ticket to 11-12
billion starving, parched souls.
The media seldom focuses on Fracking, meanwhile,
both oil/gas frackers and underground coal gasification routinely convert land
and water into chemical
cesspools.
