Fracking Denton drama

[4bangen]

Girl I knew in highschool's mom got arrested this morning while blocking the entrance to a drilling site. Same one the three people got arrested yesterday.
Got me thinking, what is everyone here's opinion on the topic?
She is on facebook bragging about it and all her friends are calling her a hero. She actually said she enjoyed the "experience" and that it was one of the things on her bucket list.
So discuss away.

Attention whores.

Re: BMW and Motorcycle guy.

Some people think their opinion matters to other people.

Others don't give a fuck.

Considering Abbott signed a bill taking away the city's right to ban fracking, it's a moot point really.


Somewhat related, I fucking hate Greg Abbott.

I found out this morning, no legalized mary jane either!

I thought that the medical cannibis oil's passed?

I hear Abbott said he wouldnt sign any of it into law.

For people with a specific disease, he also said legal weed will never pass as long as he is in charge.

Hasn't all this nonsense about fracing being an issue been proved wrong? I thought Disposal Wells were causing the earth quakes now.

I'm sure he was talking about selling regular flower and not medical oils that are used to treat kids with severe seizures.

Yes the medical oils have no (or very little) THC. And the canniboids that are extracted are used to treat seizures.

In what world are the two not directly related? You can't frac without disposing of it somehow.

This is specific only to people with epilepsy, and even then only specific to a certain type of seizure. Will always be a no go for any other medicinal purpose as long as he's in office.

unfortunately, even if it was able to make him stand up and walk again, I think he'd still be against it.

It's a shame that tree branch only maimed him, and didn't kill him.

All wells have produced water that needs to be disposed of, it is not just frac water. Personally I would be a lot more concerned about the enormous amounts of ground water that are used in a frac. We need to be focused on bringing down the cost of filtering produced water to be used in frac jobs, to conserve our ground water and also reduce the need to dispose of it.

I can't believe we can filter fecal matter into drinkable water, but we cannot find a solution to filter and reuse frac water somehow...

It is completely possible, but not economical when the land owners are willing to sell the water cheap.
