Hundreds of students from around the country have come together to learn about divestment campaigning, so that they can go back home and help their universities divest from dirty energy companies and re-invest in a clean energy future.

Day 105 of 365 (Year Three)
So I got up this morning and grabbed the first shirt off of the top of the laundry basket. It just happened to be my FRACK ME shirt. I put it on and didn't think anything of it.
This afternoon, after finishing her homework. Savanah looks up at me and asks, "Daddy, what does Frack Me mean?"
Ummmmmmm, how do you explain Frack Me to a seven year old? I sort of stammered out some lame explanation of how it is an adult way expressing displeasure when something goes wrong. I also told her she wasn't allowed to say it. I can only imagine the phone call from the school when something doesn't go her way and she blurts out "Frack Me!"
Who would have thought BSG would complicate my life like this? I love that she is so inquisitive, but sometimes it can be a tad bit troublesome. Why did we ever teach her to read? LOL

The Rev. Brad Bennett discusses the benefits and environmental costs of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas while standing on the service pad for a well on his family land near Jane Lew, W.Va. Brad, who pastors two United Methodist congregations in Fairmont says “I have folks who benefit from it and folks who are hurt by it,” he said. “I’m happy for the short-term gain for land owners. On the other side, it’s been disruptive to the land." Photo by Mike DuBose, UM News.

As seen from a public road on a ridge in Marshall County, this a well under construction. It will use horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (aka fracking) to obtain gas from the Marcellus shale formation.
On May 23, 2011, Marcellus Protest picketed the Shale Play Tubulars Conference that took place at the William Penn Omni Hotel in Pittsburgh.
Ten activists from the Shale Must Fall network, Gastivists Collective, and Climate Camp Scotland beamed a series of unpermitted 40-meter “guerrilla projections” onto the iconic COP26 Climate Summit venue in Glasgow. This action came just days after leaked European Commission documents revealed plans to fast-track approval to 30 new fossil gas infrastructure projects through the “Projects of Common Interest” (PCI) list. The images – which included scandalous infrared images of methane leakage from British and European fossil gas infrastructure – were aimed at drawing attention to the “Methane Gap” between what was promised in the Global Methane Pledge and the construction of new methane infrastructure in Europe.
“The European Commission’s likely decision to support up to 30 new fossil gas infrastructure projects shows the huge gap between political rhetoric at COP26 and policy back in Brussels. Fossil gas production leaks methane every step of the way: from fracking to freezing to shipping to piping, reducing those super-charged emissions is the low-hanging fruit for climate action, but those emissions need to be treated holistically,” said Neal Huddon-Cossar of the Gastivists Collective. “Putting a few bandaids over the leaks isn’t getting to the root of the problem – our governments need to stop importing methane and commit to leaving greenhouse gases where they belong – underground.”
The European Commission's 5th proposed “Projects of Common Interest" include the contentious EastMed deep-sea gas pipeline that would bring fossil gas into Europe from the disputed waters of Palestine, Israel, Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey. The PCI list gives projects fast-tracked priority for funding, permitting, and support at the EU level. Infrared monitoring technologies, such as those projected during the action, have raised the profile and awareness about the role of methane leaks from fracking and fossil gas infrastructure in contributing to global warming. Methane, conventionally sold as “natural gas,” is both a fossil fuel and a greenhouse gas more than 100 times more potent than CO2 while in the atmosphere. Europe is responsible for nearly half of global gas imports, and in Europe, fossil gas is already responsible for more CO2 emissions than coal.
“We are in Glasgow to denounce the genocide and ethnic cleansing being committed by extractivist European corporations that have already taken the life of activists like Samir Flores,” said Miriam Vargas of the Futuros Indigenas network in Mexico. “We denounce that corporations keep extracting land, water, lives, and peace from our territories. We demand an immediate stop to this nonconsensual extraction in our territory.”
The action sought to strengthen the international push to force governments to abandon the construction of new methane infrastructure globally and declare a global fracking ban.
“This is not terribly complicated: methane is a super-charged greenhouse gas that is already underground – all we have to do is leave it there. The fact that Scotland deems it dangerous to frack here and yet continues to allow Ineos to import fracked gas is simply immoral – if it's not okay to frack here, it's not okay to pay someone else to do it,” said Jemma Kettlewell of Climate Camp Scotland. “Europe tries to hide the true emissions of fossil gas imports, but methane doesn’t stop at our borders. Whether we import it to burn, or to make plastics, or to make petrochemicals, imported methane comes with a heavy price tag for the climate, not to mention the impacts of such industries on local communities like Mossmorran. Any European energy strategy that continues to rely on leaky, immoral, expensive, and imported fossil gas simply has no place in our clean energy future.”
