@  (holy shit your name woona)

We have more earthquakes than California now, broski. And it's all because of the drilling. The oil and gas corporations, of course, are saying, "What? Of course the earthquakes are natural! The fault lines have been there forever and they're just now becoming active again!" But that's total bullshit and know it. Not that these guys care because they're making billions. Now in 2005, we only had about 10 earthquakes a year. Fast forward to today, and yeah - we get hundreds of them. Never anything over the top powerful, but this should be a precursor for what's to come. If things keep up, we're going to have some pretty massive earthquakes in the not so distant future.

I really hope that solar power takes off soon. I'm sure the oil companies will do everything in their power to keep it from happening. It's not like the consumer ultimately has the choice. The electrical companies all basically have monopolies. So if we don't like what they're using to source their power, we don't get a say. We can gripe about it, but damn, having electricity sure is nice. 

Anyway, we have a history of destroying the land. If you think that's bad, you ought to look up Tar Creek. We basically built mountains of lead dust so big, they can be seen from space.
