Mora Community Rights: Sacred Water, Land, Air and Life:
It is time for a change in order to address
environmental and public health impacts from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Santa Fe County needs a carefully written and agreed-upon community rights-based ordinance that asserts the powers it has to protect its water, air and land—our inalienable rights! There is no “no” in the regulatory system. It is only about how much harm and how much destruction will be regulated. A gathering of interested people will be held:
Date: Tuesday, February 21
Time: 5:30 to 7:30 pm
Where: Santa Fe Main Library
What: Develop community support for a Community Bill of Rights for Santa Fe County. Please join us!
Hydraulic fracturing is a process used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States, where millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas.
Scientists are worried that the chemicals used in fracturing may pose a threat either underground or when waste fluids are handled and sometimes spilled on the surface.
• Tutorial on Hydraulic Fracturing
Gas drilling companies such as Halliburton say the gas drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is safe, but opponents contend it pollutes groundwater with dangerous substances. Now, new evidence has emerged possibly linking natural gas drilling to groundwater contamination. ProPublica journalist Abrahm Lustgarten reports federal officials in Wyoming have found that at least three water wells contain chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing.
