Fracking You: B.C. a Frackers Heaven
Governments, by long standing habit, don't like smarty pants environmentalists to learn what the hell is going on and thus be able to alert the masses, for those masses can mess up the process. The BC government's policy was neatly summed up by Finance Minister Kevin Falcon when he was Transport Minister. Frustrated by boo-birds who were always asking questions, going to public meetings and demonstrating, said the Chinese "don't have the labour or environmental restrictions we do. It's not like they have to do community consultations. They just say 'we're building a bridge' and they move everyone out of there and get going within two weeks. Could you imagine if we could build like that?"
Here is as good a definition I could find for "fracking":
Horizontal hydrofracking is a means of tapping shale deposits
containing natural gas that were previously inaccessible by
conventional drilling. Vertical hydrofracking is used to extend the
life of an existing well once its productivity starts to run out,
sort of a last resort. Horizontal fracking differs in that it uses a
mixture of 596 chemicals, many of them proprietary, and millions of
gallons of water per frack. This water then becomes contaminated and
must be cleaned and disposed of. K nowing that, what sorts of questions are running through your
mind? Does this process weaken the ground so that it might
collapse? Where do they get all that water from? What happens to the river or lake from which all that water
was taken? What happens if it comes from a reservoir for a dam, does its
loss reduce the capacity of that dam? Does it go into the water table? Assuming that it has to go
somewhere, how clean is it? Does the process have any greenhouse gas emissions? What about people who live and/or work in the area - does
this process affect them adversely? This isn't something that came down the river on a piece of bark
but is a major undertaking throughout North America. The Atlantic
Provinces are involved and Quebec has suspended fracking until there
has been a detailed environmental review. What about the BC government? Surely they have done studies,
issued a white paper and encouraged public involvement! Not a chance. The Minister responsible - the Minister of Forests,
Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Steve Thomson - simply refuses
to comment. You will note that the Minister of Environment is not
involved in this huge environmental question mark.
