The Day I Held a Feather to Power: a Personal Account of Resistance to Fracking

Hello my name is Amanda Polchies I am a Lakota Sioux and Mikmaq woman and I live in Elsipogtog First Nation. I am the woman who knelt in the road with my feather and prayed in front of a line of armed RCMP officers. They were hired by SWN Resources to raid our peaceful camp on highway 134,There is an emerging technology to bypass the need for pipelines www.cbc.ca/.../bitumen-balls-pellets-pipelines... Professor Ian Gates has developed a method more suitable to the Alberta product than diluting it with imported product. There should be no problem. I already pointed this information out to both my MP and MLA. It will take time for people to get the idea that pipelines are not required to send your product anywhere by train.

Tyee FOI reveals pro-pipeline PR strategy, spiraling costs.#EndofOil Colorado courts have stated plainly that in their view the right of #fossilefuel companies to make a profit is more important than any health or safety concerns. #banfracking Most jurisdictions are not willing to come right out and tell the citizens that they are not important - #profit Nd #greed rule our legal systems.
"The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday reversed a lower court decision and ruled that the state's regulators do not have to consider environmental and health impacts before approving new oil and gas projects."
"To know that the judges in the highest court of my state believe that the interests of the oil and gas industry come before the public health, safety, and welfare of my fellow Coloradans is shameful," said Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, an 18-year-old plaintiff in the youth-led suit against the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
Backed by the organization Our Children's Trust, the youth-brought suit is demanding that the COGCC refuse to grant oil and gas development permits "unless the best available science demonstrates, and an independent, third-party organization confirms, that drilling can occur in a manner that does not cumulatively, with other actions, impair Colorado's atmosphere, water, wildlife, and land resources, does not adversely impact human health, and does not contribute to climate change."
Bravo for the youth plaintiffs and Our Children's Trust, for laying out a well defined demand for intelligent, scientific health and environmental evaluations to be made on any new fossil fuel projects. The decision of the Colorado Supreme Court appears to deny to the plaintiffs, and in effect all people, the right to a future safe from dangers of gas, oil and coal. It has been revealed that the industry has known the hazards of its products for decades and failed to take measures to protect the public. The long standing connection between industry and government to deny the harms of fossil fuels must continue to be challenged.#nopipelines #respect #FirstNations
