Some details of a "militant" (hence the "passion" in the words):
How we can be "deep-seated" without vaseline!
The deputies voted for the law presented by both the UMP and the PS concerning shale gas. Well. Well. Do not spit in the soup, that's always taken. However…
However, there is an essential difference between the first version of the law and that which was passed. The first version of section 2 of this law is as follows: "Exclusive exploration licenses for unconventional liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon mines are repealed." The version revised and corrected under pressure from industrial lobbies, much longer and obscure, stipulates that holders of research permits must "within two months" from the publication of the law deliver "to the administrative authority which has issued the permits a report specifying the techniques used ”.
The permits would only be revoked if this report is not submitted or if it "mentions the use, effective or possible, of drilling followed by hydraulic fracturing of the rock". And it's completely different. There is no longer any question of outright repeal of the permissions passed on (against what?) By the ineffable Borloo but of…
In fact, this law gives all satisfaction to the industrialists who plan to screw up the country. Indeed, they must ask permission to bitch to the administration ... which has already granted them permits! Administration in the hands of the body of Mines, favorable to these drilling and which therefore has little chance of disowning! Especially since it will be enough for manufacturers to change the terminology of presentation of their operating technique while doing the same since there is no other way to do it! And pan! In the onion! And without petroleum jelly.
This dossier is indicative of the duplicity of political leaders and their complicity with manufacturers.
Duplicity: a year ago, Jean-Louis Borloo secretly signed three permits authorizing the exploration of the basement of an area of 15.000 km2, in search of shale gas.
Even more duplicity: the modifications made to the mining code which simplify the life of prospectors.
Complicity: Six months earlier, the companies Toreador Energy France (whose vice-president is ... Julien Balkany, the half-brother of the mayor of Levallois-Perret!) And Hess Oil France - in search of shale oil - had already obtained a permit to probe the basement of Aisne, Seine-et-Marne and Marne (“Château-Thierry permit”).
Another complicity: in the archives of the Drire de Midi-Pyrénées, the report "2007 Assessment, 2008 objective" clearly demonstrates that hydraulic fracturing has already been used in France. This first took place in the municipality of Franquevielle (Haute-Garonne), in March and April 2007, as part of the "Permis de Foix".
Always complicity: a drilling which wanted to be discreet under the aegis of Total in Garn, in the Gard concluding with the presence of "strong potentiality of available water". Curious coincidence when we know that the exploitation of shale gas requires huge quantities of water…
The only technique to recover "shale gas" - hydraulic fragmentation - is that used in the United States which ransacks, disfigures entire regions and seriously disturbs the health of the inhabitants. Covered by patents and jealously guarded secret by the industry (more than 600 have been identified, however), most are accused of having impacts on the skin, eyes or the respiratory, nervous, immune or cardiovascular system. The testimonies of desperate residents of the documentary Gasland by Josh Fox - attacked by gas by heavy artillery, especially since his Oscar nomination - clearly demonstrate that hydraulic fracturing can also have catastrophic effects.
Hydraulic fragmentation? What aco? To achieve good hydraulic fracturing: mix a lot of water (between 15.000 and 20.000 m3), sand and quantities of synthetic chemicals. Project this cocktail under high pressure on compact rocks, between 2.000 and 3.000 meters deep, to fracture them. You will then release “unconventional” hydrocarbons, including the famous “shale gas and oil”. And you will destroy the region…
Polluted groundwater, earth with hundreds of thousands of wells, caravans of giant trucks thrown on the roads, toxic air in the countryside, not to mention the increase in CO2 emissions ... This is the dramatic spectacle created by shale gas industry in the United States. Synthetic chemicals, used to dissolve minerals, limit the development of bacteria harmful to the good condition of pipes or even "dry" the gas, are particularly criticized.
These are the filths that private interests, with the complicity of the sarko-traffickers, want to commit in our regions ... Yes but if we do not do it, the Poles, them, will do it without heartache!
Don't be pessimistic Coco! Don't be pessimistic! Of course, your tap water will be rotten and you will need to boil it before using it. But it will be easy: the gas to boil it will also come out of the tap!
