While driving around to catch this lightning thunderstorm I was looking for a good composition. These oil and gas fracking hoods all lit up really caught my attention with lightning strikes in the distance.

En route to Los Angeles flying somewhere over California, I noticed a bunch of barren empty lots that seemed to follow two ridge-lines in the desert. After watching Josh Fox's recent documentary Gasland, I think these are hydraulic fracturing sites.
"Fracking" is a harmful practice used for creating boreholes fundamental to oil and natural gas extraction, in which a toxic cocktail of chemicals is injected deep below the ground in order to fracture rock formations.
In 2005, the Bush administration pushed through the Energy Policy Act or the "Halliburton loophole," which exempted hydraulic fracturing from previous federal regulations and allowed the practice to rapidly proliferate. Since 2009, the FRAC Act, which calls for the disclosure of the chemicals being used in hydraulic fracturing, has been sitting on a table somewhere waiting to be reviewed by some committee.

For those who whined about the reflection that was cut off, here's a different shot with the leader's reflection in the river. I won't name and names of those who whined about it, I'll just tag them. ;)
I was lucky enough to take a boat ride on the Yellowstone River with friends with the express purpose of taking photos. We were really looking for Eagle photos. We saw an Eagle, but the photos I got weren't that great. I much preferred Frick and Frack here -- the Pelican couple. :-)
A westbound loaded sand train, which will be used for fracking in Utah, approaches the grade crossing at Cliff. With only five units (three on the point and two on the rear), this crazy heavy train is making an average speed of about 10 MPH up the Moffat. The three units on the point are all SD70ACes...music to the ears of this EMD fan!

In August of 2013, the quiet village of Balcombe West Sussex became a focus of the controversial shale gas drilling, fracking. Protesters and the Police collided in what has become known as "The Battle of Balcombe"
Fracking fluid and other drilling wastes are dumped into an unlined pit located right up against the Petroleum Highway in Kern County, California.

In Blackpool where Cuadrilla have the full blessing of the UK "government" [more like the Muppet Show] to frack away to their hearts' content - earthquakes not-with-standing - when they are compelled to stop for a while. Never mind, it's a long way from London !!!
Camp Frack mobilised over 100 climate activists and local residents against plans by Cuadrilla Resources to drill for shale gas in Lancashire, UK.
"Camp Frack", named after "fracking", the process of pumping vast quantities of water underground and fracturing rocks with chemicals to release shale gas, set up outside the Lancashire village of Banks, close to a drilling rig that Cuadrilla Resources is using to drill up to 3.5km deep.
Environmentalists have argued that the "fracking" process is inherently risky. In the US, where shale gas is being hailed by industry as a potential substitute for oil, fears have been raised about the effect of the chemicals used, explosions, links with seismic activity and allegations of illness. A Cornell University study also concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas are higher than those for coal.

Four panels from my comic strip on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. This will be the kick-off chapter in the US edition of Science Tales, due out from Abrams next year.
