Not clean. Not renewable. Not our future.

Mudburra elder Ray Dixon has a message for @originenergy - when will they respond? #dontfracktheNT

It's not just nearby residents and farm animals who are exposed to the hazards of fracking.

Workers are exposed to dangerous amounts of silica dust, which can cause fatal respiratory ailments.

Respiratory problems.
Problems during pregnancy, including infant health problems.
Noise, stress and sleep deprivation.
Spills and accidents.

This article was published in 2017; new studies show more info on these #fracking-related problems and more. https://t.co/drhvH2Y5D9 #gas

Fracking waste is being repackaged for use as a de-icing agent on roads and pool #salt. Packaged as "salt from ancient seas," this so-called salt contains radioactive elements and other dangerous chemicals. Watch out for #AquaSalina and #Eureka products!

Pennsylvania @GovernorTomWolf has launched a study into whether there is a link between shale gas development and childhood #cancer.

A Shell complex in PA would use ethane from #fracking to make plastic — prolonging fracking and creating 1.6m tons of #plastic and 2.2m tons of globe-heating #carbon dioxide annually, on top of toxic air emissions.

And the industry wants more.

We've just released a new briefing exposing the problems with the @IEA's promotion of fossil gas. We're in a #ClimateEmergency and that means keeping fossil fuels in the ground. The IEA needs to #FixTheWEO. Read more: https://t.co/7b3i0aDllU #WEO2019

Rapid oil and gas development in water-stressed areas of the West could exacerbate the region's #water problems.

Regulators should be required to consider the impact of energy development on watersheds before approving drilling on federal land

A rigorous study from the Colorado Dept of Public Health & Environment supports what people living near oil and gas fracking have been saying for over a decade — living near fracking can lead to health problems.

Fracked gas from the United States is fueling plastic production on the other side of the Atlantic.

Fracking wastewater injection wells have been linked to earthquakes for years.

But for the first time, scientists are connecting fracking itself to earthquakes in West Texas.

Switching coal to #naturalgas isn’t an “answer to an energy question.” Gas isn’t a “bridge fuel.”

Gas is a path straight to climate disaster & fossil-fueled hell.

It doesn’t matter if gas is better or worse than coal. We need to phase out ALL fossil fuels w/ a just transition.

From @Vox: The mysterious spike in atmospheric methane may lead to America’s doorstep.

This is alarming news, especially since U.S. methane emissions are on track to keep rising if we don't change course.

The laudable climate goal of 100% clean energy by 2050 recently signed by @GovernorVA is compromised by his administration's own decision to allow two massive fracked-gas pipelines to bisect the state.

Fracking isn't just bad news for water & our climate ��� shale gas extraction is also responsible for habitat destruction on a massive scale, which is linked to declining numbers of #songbirds & #sagegrouse, plus #crustaceans and #fish

Babies are 70% more likely to be born with a congenital heart defect if their mothers live within a mile of an oil and gas well.

17 million Americans live within a mile of an oil or gas well.

Radioactive fracking waste is making its way into Pennsylvania waterways. State regulators are allowing 14 sewage-wastewater plants to discharge the dangerous waste as landfill leachate.

The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to allow trains to transport liquefied natural gas — despite the fact that any accident would have severe consequences.
