Following what environmental groups say was a flawed impacts study, the Federal government has paved the way for fracking to resume in ocean waters off the coast of California. A fracking moratorium had been in place following a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) but on May 27 the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued a finding of "no significant impact" from enhancing extraction methods - including hydraulic fracturing - fracking - from platforms off the California coast. HERE is the information on the BOEM website. In response to that finding CBD issued a statement saying a suit is likely. Ventura County residents and organizations recently protested outside of the Camarillo offices of the BOEM to oppose fracking in California's ocean waters.

I am really scared, especially with all of the crimes happening right now. I think that I was born in the wrong generation, I really do believe that. If you ask me, I could have been a better person if I was born during the earlier generation. I know that this might sound ridiculous, but I really do think that it is possible. I wish to have a life that is free from being scared, a life without crime in the world. Leave a Reply. |
