There is a city in Oklahoma who has ground water now contaminated by Halliburton burning rocket fuel.  Remember, the largest oil spill in the gulf was partly blamed on the poor judgement of Halliburton and British Petroleum.  I’m beginning to think that maybe poor judgement is part of their corporate mind set.  Even in North Pole, Alaska the ground water has been contaminated by the refinery that was built in the 70′s.  It was owned by the Koch Brothers, Williams Oil and I’m not sure now who is the operator and owners now.  The contamination of ground water by these companies is beyond pale.  For example, just look at the contamination of water all around the country with the
Methyl tert-butyl ether that the very same oil companies added to their refined products.  Corpus Christi, Texas ground water contamination by the oil refineries there was in the news while we were staying there.   Whole neighborhoods can not use their wells for domestic water.   Now I hear the Tea Party and their Republican stooges are wanting to roll back our environmental laws.  That makes sense doesn’t it.

Arctic Native people of the  Gwich’in Nation to send aerial message

July 21, 2010 BP’s Gulf oil spill devastation prompts Arctic Native people of the Gwich’in Nation to send aerial message with their bodies to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil development. The ‘Protect’ image, that includes a Porcupine Caribou Herd antler and threatened Yukon River Salmon, was captured at the Gwich’in Gathering at the confluence of the Yukon and Porcupine Rivers, Fort Yukon, Alaska. The message was dedicated to the memory of the late Jonathon Solomon Sr.
