This is my note: Some reasons why I think the Fracking is a bad idea and why I am asking everyone to help stop it. Energy, People and Climate Change are by far the biggest problem we face today. The Keystone pipeline would be supplied by fracking wells, which means pumping Mercury, Lead and other ingredients so secret that no part of the government knows what kinds of poison this secret process contains. Mercury is so dangerous the United States Government does not allow citizens to own it. Fracking was done and is continuing in the United States which has polluted countless wells making the water unfit for mammals and even any plant. In my opinion it is way too risky to allow this uncontrolled practice to be used over the largest and most important aquifer in North America if not the World. The people on Earth right now do not have the right to use or waste all of the Earths fossil fuels. It took billions of years to make them and at the rate we are going it will be gone in two centuries or less. Most of these new wells also vent natural gas and Methane gas into the air or is considered a nuisance and burned off into the air. We need to make an honest effort at the energy problem or there will not be a human brain to map. IT IS LIKE PUTTING A LITTLE POISON IN EVERY BREATH AND EVERY GLASS OF WATER AND EVERY BITE OF FOOD. Maybe medical research money would be better utilized on clean energy. No poison-No cancer. We need leaders with enough guts and common sense to make some hard choices, and enough brain power and honesty to realize the damage we are doing to the environment. We will all need to sacrifice and the most important part of the whole energy problem is we need to make a commitment like we did to win the wars or to put a man on the moon. I am not sure that there are any people left with that kind of commitment capabilities. This is way more important than any problem man has ever faced. We scatter poison on the land in the name of food production and energy generation. Now you actually want to inject poison into the ground “where our water comes from” and expect us to believe that doing so is a good thing! By building a pipe from central Canada to the Gulf of Mexico it would increase the amount of oil on the World Market thereby keeping prices low and contributing to more fossil fuel being burned every year. China and India have an appetite that will continue to grow at an unsustainable pace. The pipeline is spurred by greed both corporate and personal. If we expect to have a planet in which future generations can live we need to change much of our thinking and the way we do things. Manufacture, buy and use things locally as much as possible. We need to stop manufacturing junk. Appliances used to last for 30 years and were easily recycled. Coal fired power plants distribute thousands of tons of mercury over the Earth every year, a byproduct of burning coal. Corn Ethanol uses almost as much fossil fuel to make as it saves. The most inefficient engine in service today is on the back of every jet aircraft. Jet planes kill in two ways so should have been banned after 911 or at least controlled like they want to do with guns. At least a gun is as safe as the person holding it. The Governments in Europe in the last century put people who had guns on a list and then a little later on the Gestapo went and confiscated them. Every time a Government does that countless defenseless people are murdered. To me it seems so simple: The right to protect my family and the right to clean air we breathe. Of the 400 odd fools running this country there is not a handful of them that agree with me on those two most important issues! I just can’t understand it seems so simple to me. God given right to protect myself and have safe food. What a great example our rich out of touch politicians are! When campaigning they will fly back and forth past one place that is on the way to where they are going and then back again like a dodo bird or some strange organism with no sense of decency and no logical direction, or is it just being rich and taking your piece of pie from the middle? Try to imagine the carbon footprint made just by the last campaign. Try to imagine the size of the hole in the Earth that just the gasoline we burn in our cars every day makes. We can do better than this with renewables and for the good of all of us you jokers in charge need to address the real issues, the things that matter. I am so ashamed of my government and the corporations and banks that run things on this Earth that I wish I could move to a different galaxy or be dictator of the earth. I can tell you that there would be different people in jail than there are now including most politicians and the Supreme Court. These few people took an oath to do the best for the people. Instead for my entire lifetime the politicians in charge have allowed this great country to be destroyed. Sent our manufacturing away, over farming and destroying the land in every way imaginable. They argue for months on end over many meaningless issues while neglecting the things that matter most. PLEASE FOR ONCE USE YOUR INTELIGENCE, STUDY THE SITUATION YOURSELF AND DO THE RIGHT THING. Put those lobbyists in jail too, they are not your best advisers!! IT IS REALITY, FACE IT
