Joe Barton Claims That 'Texas Air Quality is Excellent'

Not only is Texas the biggest polluter in the country but it isn’t complying with federal air quality standards. Texas leads the nation in carbon dioxide emissions, and in 2008, Houston was ranked the fourth worst city for ozone — a far cry from “excellent” air quality.

Yep, every thing is bigger in Texas, untruths and pollution.http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2011/03/30/barton-texas-air-quality/

Drillers Soaking It All Up

MOUNDSVILLE-When Moundsville's reservoir dropped more than 10 feet in the course of a few days last month, officials began searching for what they believed would be a major water line leak.

What they didn't expect to find is that the water level drop would be from natural gas drilling companies using 9 million gallons of water as part of their hydraulic fracking operations.

Yes, what a surprise, weather forecasts predicts droughts this summer in our
area. Just who profits from water loss? http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/content.detail/id/553193/Drillers-Soaking-It-All-Up--Water-Sale-Leaves-Moundsville-Dry.html?nav=5233

New Process Cleanly Extracts Oil From Tar Sands And Fouled Beaches

ScienceDaily (Mar. 20, 2011) — An environmentally friendlier method of separating oil from tar sands has been developed by a team of researchers at Penn State. This method, which utilizes ionic liquids to separate the heavy viscous oil from sand, is also capable of cleaning oil spills from beaches and separating oil from drill cuttings, the solid particles that must be removed from drilling fluids in oil and gas wells.
Safer methods for gas extractions exsist now, but are seldom utilized.
It would of course, cost industry some of their exorbitant profits to protect
our health.

that they've been dealing with 

for years now.

something to do with the 

nearly three dozen radio and

cell phone towers he's mapped

out around his home.

The FDA says large amounts of

radio waves,can heat tissues in

certain parts of the body. But,

further research needs to be done.
