California Ground Is Sinking! Emergency: Frackers Ordered 'Shut Down!' Poisoned Drinking Water Feared

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


An emergency shutdown of 11 oil and gas waste injection sites and a review of over 100 others have been ordered in California’s drought-wrecked Central Valley, not out of fear of infernos ravaging the drought-stricken west coast, but instead, fear that companies have been pumping poisonous fracking fluids and other toxic waste into drinking water aquifers there.

 

A report this week from UC Davis researchers highlighted again the threat drought poses to California’s groundwater supply.

 

Farmers and others, however, are at odds about how the state should monitor and regulate use of water pumped from wells.

 

Ground Sinking Smoking Gun

 

The smoking gun illustrating the problem of groundwater overdraft might be in the farm-worker town of Stratford. One of the two wells supplying the unincorporated town of 1,277 south of Lemoore recently failed.

 

“The well failure could be a harbinger of things to come as the ground sinks due to excessive pumping of water out of aquifers to satisfy the county’s farms and towns.”

 

Much of the west coast is under emergency declarations today as global warming’s droughts spread wildfires across parched states. Governors have declared “forced evacuations” from hundreds of homes. As the numbers of people having their lives ruined by drought and fire, the numbers supporting government action on global warming increases.

 

The last things Californians need is frackers using their water needed to battle fires and for fires to cause fracking explosions. Many scientists and a growing number of people suffering in the drought would add the last thing they need is the general public continuing to deny there is a problem called global warming.

      Maybe we are being punished for putting in a anti-Semite illegal negro as a phony president? If Israel suffers America suffers. They are joined at the hip.

      Curse Israel and you Curse America.

        It is not anti-semitic to disagree with Israeli foreign policy. You seem to disagree with the President of the United States of America, does that make you anti-American?

        • MSG Chicken

          Bad question!

          There is a difference between “anti” and BLAME!

          “You seem to disagree with the President of the United States of America, does that make you anti-American?

          Only legally. But that just means that he should handed over to American racists to be dealt with / corrected / cured. Of course that might include him so it will also include those he himself would condemn for not being Semitic – Anti-Semitic in their world view. So he will desperately try and keep people distracted with Semitic – Anti-Semitic world view matters rather than American – Anti-American ones.

      Maybe we should stop blaming these problems on things other than global warming, which the overwhelming majority of over 5000 climate scientists around the world realize is due to human activities, and do the things we urgently need to do to try and minimize its impact. It’s too late to stop it, but we can lessen the harm by ending the use of fossil fuels and giving up our fossil fuel wars in order to direct our resources to a renewable energy revolution, family planning, ending pollution, and helping other countries we currently dominate to do the same.
      Readers, be aware that paid trolls are planting disinformation for the fossil fuel industry on sites like this.

      Oh and by the way, being appalled at Israel’s behavior and wanting it to be stopped and war criminals sent to jail is not antisemitic. It’s common decency, shared by more and more Jews as they watch this rogue state go out of control. Being appalled at the US rogue state isn’t antichristian, nor is being appalled at Indonesia antimuslim. And being appalled at MSG Chicken isn’t just because of the MSG.

        Why do you blame Israel?

        The Koran does not mention Jerusalem but the Bible mentions it over 700 times from the OT to the NT written long before there ever were a Palestinian.

        The land has been turned over to it’s rightful owners as prophesied. They have made the desert bloom there while the squatters never turned it into nothing but a piss hole and a dump.

        And if it wasn’t for the Torah the Palestinians would be obliberated. They should kiss and thank a Jew everyday for allowing Palestinians to live and practice their hatred.

        • Damien

          “As prophesied…”

          Bring on the nukes and hooves and Christian holocaust.

        • paul brown

          Why do people blame Israel? Biblical prophesy doesn’t justify depriving a whole population of their human rights, taking their land, caging them in camps, and butchering them. As for being there first, these people are descendants of those who were there before the Jews even arrived.

          There are many Israelis and other Jews who are as appalled as the rest of the world at the behavior of Israel, Just as there are many Americans who are angry with the behavior of their own government. Thank goodness for them, I hope they prevail.

          Jews who were deprived of their human rights through the ages, like the many other groups who have been, of course deserve our deepest sympathy. Those who deprive others of their human rights don’t deserve sympathy, they must be stopped.

      HEY! THIS STORY IS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT THREATENS ALL OF US! We are letting ourselves be distracted from global warming, overpopulation and mass extinction, which will not affect us along ethnic or national lines except insofar as the one percent will dominate and kill the ninety-nine percent as long as they can before it all goes belly up.

      The laws of physics, chemistry and biology cannot be broken, or modified by corrupt politicians and corporations. We can be part of nature or we can violate it and die.

      Stop letting trolls distract us from this issue, and recognize Israeli genocide as one part of the New World Order that is going to kill us all – directly through deprivation of human rights, and less directly but more globally and permanently through making the ecosphere uninhabitable for all of us.

      The ground is sinking due to the over pumping of wells in the past, it’s happening all throughout the western states were little surface water exists. So don’t just play the blame game against the oil company’s framers and cities alike are also to blame.
