What the Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know About Fracking. When we hear politicians and gas companies extoll the virtues of fracking, jobs created by drilling is usually high on their list of talking points. But the jobs created by fracking are not the kind of quality jobs American workers deserve.

 

How shale oil can kill. All crude oil has toxic compounds called volatile hydrocarbons, such as benzene, butane and propane. Shale oil, such as that from Colorado’s Niobrara formation, has more than conventional crude. It’s related to why trains loaded with shale crude explode when they derail.

 

Chicago Hackers and Activists Team Up on Petroleum Coke Storage. Text messages warning communities on Chicago’s Southeast Side of petroleum coke, or petcoke, exposure are the result of a collaboration between activists fighting the storage of petcoke, and Chi Hack Night, a volunteer program that helps people use public data and open source software around certain issues.

    “What Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know about Fracking;”

    The same can be said about western medicine, modern western farming practices, the western chemical and drug manufacturing industries. It has nothing to do with the industries per say, and everything to with the people running them for profit at all else’s expense. In America especially, is being run by organised criminals, they own the toxic fake food and chemical industries that makes you sick, and they also own the dug manufacturers who produce medicines that don’t cure you, but mask the symptoms. The are raking it in with a guaranteed income from all directions. You’re nothing but cash cows.

    :lol:
