I would aver that nothing will prove more precisely the old Maxim: “What goes around, comes around” than the fact that what, we have, allowed to be Sprayed on our Crops, Spilled onto our Land -including the run-off from crops, Spewed into our Air, Buried in our Soil or Dumped into our waters, will soon be seen, smelt and tasted, in that order, as it comes back at us out of our spigots.
Count on it!The potential for the survival of our environment is directly proportional to the, insatiable, sociopathic GREED of the “Special Interests” and their carte blanche to continue to Pollute, Deceive and continue to Pollute.
We are our Environment’s Keeper! If not us, WHO? Certainly not those who are Profiting from its Destruction!
How many gallons of water does it take to recover One(1) Cubic Foot of natural gas?
Water that must be contaminated by chemicals to make it useable in the recovery process. Water that will remain so contaminated that it will be unfit to flush a toilet. I suspect that we will run out of drinkable water while trying to solve our energy problems! Who will be the winner here?

You mention the need to close “these two loopholes” without mentioning explicitly what the loopholes are, just where they are found. Can you please explain?

Either every president who vows to take down big oil is lying or there is perhaps something going on that we don’t know about. Big corporations can get away with just about anything. Wonder if they have threatened anyone who looks like they will screw their agenda up? I pray that someone in the near future can find a way to actually take them down.

If you are going to show a picture of a salmon while talking about Bristol Bay, please at least show a salmon in Bristol Bay, instead of a salmon swimming up a fish ladder.
