Photo from Space of the Bakken Oil Field... Burning Natural Gas at Oil Rigs in North Dakota is visible from space at night. Fracking... It looks as bright as a city but it's burning waste fuel... Polluting the World, Causing Global Warming.

The Bakken Formation supports an unconventional oil and natural gas play in North Dakota and Canada. The main product is oil, but most wells also yield natural gas that has few local markets, storage options, or pipelines. Much of that natural gas is flared.

What we have here is an immense and startlingly new oil and gas field — nighttime evidence of an oil boom created by a technology called fracking.

Those lights are rigs, hundreds of them, lit at night, or fiery flares of natural gas.

One hundred fifty oil companies, big ones, little ones, wildcatters, have flooded this region, drilling up to eight new wells every day on what is called the Bakken formation. Altogether, they are now producing 660,000 barrels a day — double the output two years ago — so that in no time at all, North Dakota is now the second-largest oil producing state in America. Only Texas produces more, and those lights are a sign that this region is now on fire ... to a disturbing degree. Literally.

American History: What Happened in 2019...

DC CLIMATE STRIKE – SHUT DOWN BUSINESS-AS-USUAL... Youth leaders from around the world have called for a climate strike and global week of action from September 20th-27th. They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to take action. In Washington, DC we will be answering the call and building on the momentum of the youth climate strikes in a major way:

On September 23rd,
We are going to Shut Down Washington, DC.

We will block key infrastructure to stop business-as-usual, bringing the whole city to a gridlocked standstill. Parents, workers, college students, and everyone who is concerned about the climate crisis will skip work and school and put off their other responsibilities to take action on the climate crisis.

Global Climate Strike 9/20

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get
Everything You Want.
Get More or Want Less!

What are the climate strikes—and how did they get started? In August 2018, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg began skipping school every day to protest in front of Sweden’s parliament in the weeks before the Swedish general election. She demanded climate legislation that would bring Sweden in line with the Paris Agreement (keeping global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). After the election, Thunberg continued to skip school to strike on Fridays, inspiring thousands of young people worldwide to follow suit. Since Thunberg’s Friday strikes, youth around the world have protested in front of their local legislatures on Fridays in solidarity, beginning the #FridaysForFuture movement. In a culmination of all their efforts, strikers from 117 countries are calling for massive global climate action, by everyone, on September 20th and again on September 27th—a full week of concentrated action that the strikers are calling the #WeekForFuture movement. https://www.chatelaine.com/living/global-climate-strike-canada-2019/ Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change.

A number of the world's most popular and influential websites announced this week that they will help to promote the strike, pledging to spread the word on social media, put banners on their websites to signal support for the strikes, and in some cases shut down their operations. https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/3081528/websites-join-climate-strike Why People Worldwide Will Be Walking Off The Job Later This Month.

What Ever Happened To The Dakota Access Pipeline?

This past Friday, the Dakota Access Pipeline quietly celebrated its first anniversary of service. More commonly known as "DAPL", what was once a national flashpoint between law enforcement and fossil fuel opponents has been largely forgotten. Perhaps some have wondered, what has happened with that pipeline in its inaugural year?

Answer: DAPL has been quietly transferring crude oil from the Bakken fields in North Dakota at a rate of over 500,000 barrels per day.

TigerSwan (Corporate Armed Forces), County Sheriff Sued Over Road Blockade During Dakota Access Pipeline Protests.

On October 18, 2018 two Standing Rock Sioux Tribe members and a pastor for an Episcopal Church on the reservation filed a class action civil lawsuit against state, county, and private law enforcement in the latest chapter of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) saga.

The plaintiffs allege that these groups were involved in a prolonged effort to blockade North Dakota State Highway 1806 to opponents of the controversial oil pipeline during the most heated protests from late October 2016 through early 2017.

The plaintiffs were Cissy Thunderhawk, Waste'Win Young, and Rev. John Floberg. They filed their lawsuit against Morton County, North Dakota, and its sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, as well as the current and former North Dakota Governors, Doug Burgum and Jack Dalrymple, respectively, and the private security firm Tigerswan.

Farmer says Dakota Access Pipeline is destroying his land.

The Johnson family farm has been in Boone County for 132 years. But the installation of the Dakota Access Pipeline may be causing some issues.

"They took all of the crops," says LaVerne Johnson. "They haven't paid me for crops in three years."

The list of problems—from slower drainage to lack of productivity in the soil—caught Johnson's attention since the pipe was put in the ground three years ago.

Local 5's Rafael Lopez shows you what environmentalists think are the next steps for farmers like Johnson.

Judge Blocks Keystone XL Pipeline Construction Over Environmental Concerns in a 'Landmark' Ruling.

A federal judge in Montana issued a “landmark” ruling temporarily blocking construction on the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline Thursday in a decision welcomed by environmental groups. The order came as a Canadian energy company prepared to assemble initial stages of the 1,200-mile long, cross-border project.

Trump fires 57 scientists at EPA. Promises to remove Regulations on Energy Companies. The Plan is More Profit with More Pollution.

By reducing the number of scientists at EPA he paves the way for legislation that removes Environmental Pollution Protection in favor of corporate profits. Like DOW chemical's ruling that their pesticide is safe... or Monsanto's Roundup that causes cancer but is legal to sell.

More fracking will cause more pollution of drinking water.

Now we have the Dakota pipeline which allows Canadian tar sands to be shipped to New Orleans to be sold to foreign countries... At risk of pipeline leakage in the USA for another countries energy needs.

EPA just gave notice to dozens of scientific advisory board members that their time is up.

The Environmental Protection Agency has given notice to dozens of scientists that they will not be renewed in their roles in advising the agency, continuing a scientific shake-up that has already triggered resignations and charges from some researchers that the administration is politicizing the agency.
Members of the EPA’s Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC) whose terms end in August will not see them renewed, according to an email sent to members and obtained by The Washington Post, though they can reapply for their posts. Moreover, five meetings of subcommittees of the board, planned for the late summer and the fall, will now be canceled because of lack of membership. They will be held once the board is reconstituted, according to EPA officials.
“It effectively wipes out the BOSC and leaves it free for a complete reappointment,” said Deborah Swackhamer, the current chair of the board’s executive committee and an emeritus professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Minnesota.

Trump EPA's slash of drinking water protections trickles down to N.J.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt formally initiated the repeal of the agency's Obama-era "Waters of the United States" rule that expanded federal protection of 20 million acres of wetlands and 2 million miles of streams.

In February, the president signed an executive order demanding the EPA "review and reconsider" the EPA's Clean Water Rule, to which agribusiness and fossil fuel companies alike objected and against which some 16 mostly rural states had filed suit in federal appeals court to block in 2015.
