Dear European friends,

Yesterday, 23 January, many hundreds of New York anti-fracking activists rallied at the state capitol in Albany and then met with their state senators and assembly members.

... These kinds of rallies and lobby days have been going on periodically for the past three years here in New York, as the state government continues to consider whether or not to lift our de facto state moratorium.

Yesterday's event was notable for two reasons.

First, the message of the anti-fracking groups here in NY has shifted more firmly toward demanding an outright ban. As one of the speakers at the rally, I echoed this message in my own remarks, which are attached here. (Feel free to circulate.)

My intent was to connect anti-fracking efforts with New York's proud tradition of uncompromising abolitionism regarding slavery. One of our state's historical heros is the escaped slave Harriet Tubman who served as a spy for the Union army during the Civil War and secretly helped other slaves to escape from the South, conducting them via the Underground Railroad, to safety in Canada. (Many people here in New York are very proud to live in old homes that once served station stops on the underground railroad and which contain secret rooms where runaway slaves were hidden.)

Many speakers, including me and filmmaker Josh Fox, referenced the happy victory of anti-fracking efforts in Bulgaria.

Second, a highlight of the day was our "bread parade." For this, we were directly inspired by our counterparts in Bulgaria. We closely watched the protest videos and public service announcements that preceded the good news from that nation and decided to replicate the march of the bread loaves.

Our breads were carried in a lively procession--led by New York farmers--that wound through the corridors and stair wells of the Legislative Office Building and into the great rotunda outside the Governor Cuomo's offices. There, the loaves were ceremoniously piled on a white cloth as a gift to the governor and as a symbol of the abundance of New York agriculture and all that we seek to protect through a ban on fracking.

After much chanting--"break bread! not shale!"--a staff member came out of the governor's inner offices, accepted a loaf of bread, and listened to our concerns.

The baker, miller, and farmer all involved in the creation of these bread loaves were present, and baker Stefan Senders spoke at the rally.

Thank you for the inspiration, Bulgaria, the Harriet Tubman of fracking. May your success be replicated here and everywhere.

Gladly,

Sandra

Albany rally speech, 1/23/12 “Fracking Abolition”
Sandra Steingraber ssteingraber@ithaca.edu

Hi, everybody. After three years of fighting fracking together, I feel like we’re old
friends.
You know my story:
How I grew up in a heavily industrialized river valley in Illinois just downwind and
downstream from the state’s biggest pollutors—dirty coal, ethanol distilleries, aluminum
smelters.
How my hometown drinking water wells were contaminated.
How I developed bladder cancer at the age of twenty.
How, years later, as a biologist, I learned that I was just one data point in a cluster of
cancers in the zipcode that I call home.
You know that when I became a mother—the most beautiful thing that ever happened to
me—I moved my children to upstate New York to get away from all that, only to find
myself in the crosshairs of the world’s largest and most polluting industry, with 40
percent of the land in my county already leased for the carcinogen-depended process of
fracking.
And, as if that were not enough irony for English professors, hear this: The riverside
bluffs of Illinois are now going to be strip-mined for frack sand. So the remains of the
beloved landscapes of my childhood can be carted off and —absent our intervention—
shoved into the fractured landscape of my children’s childhood.
Beautiful grains of Illinois River sand forced into fissures of shale, forced to prop open
the shattered bedrock of New York so that all manner of explosive vapors and
carcinogenic materials—arsenic, radium, uranium, benzene—can come flying out like
bats out of Pandora’s box.
Exposing the people I grew up with in Illinois to carcinogenic silica dust. Exposing my
children here to smog and radon.
Today, friends, let’s speak plainly.
Fracking is wrong.
Fracking is unmitigatable. Sooner or later, steel and concrete disintegrates. Sooner or
later, gas wells open portals of contamination between drinking water aquifers and the
toxic materials held in the bedrock below. Doing fracking “right” simply means building
time bombs with longer fuses.
There are no places in New York and no children in New York that we are willing to
sacrifice to the fracking gods.
So. Withdraw the sGEIS fig leaf and start the hell over.
Over the past three years, we have spoken many clear and beautiful words, in
testimonies, in speeches, at hearings, on the banks of the Delaware River, and as far as I
can see, there is just one word left to say. I offer it to you as a torch to carry with you into
all your meetings today.
It’s the answer to the riddle, “What do Harriet Tubman and the Bulgarian Parliament
have in common?”
And the answer is: ABOLITION
Harriet Tubman. Citizen of Auburn, New York. The most famous conductor of the
Underground Railroad.
Harriet Tubman did not advocate for state of the art slavery or for promulgating 1500
pages of regulations about slavery or for allowing a few showcase plantations in the
Southern Tier to demonstrate how slavery could be done right.
Harriet Tubman settled for nothing less than a total ban, on the grounds that slave labor—
however useful to the economy—is a homicidal abomination.
Last week, Bulgaria announced a total ban on fracking. The ban covers the whole nation
and it is permanent and unlimited. Permits to frack, held by Chevron, have been revoked.
Bulgaria has abolished fracking. The Bulgarians are fracking abolitionists.
How did they do that?
The Bulgarians marched in the streets of twelve cities. The Bulgarians blew whistles and
banged on drums and played fight songs on bagpipes. The Bulgarians employed giant,
winged stilt-walkers, edgy street theater, and very cool public service announcements.
And when their parliament said, “Okay, fine, here’s a temporary moratorium, the
Bulgarian people said, “Not good enough! We’ll settle for nothing short of abolition,”
and they marched in the streets again until their parliament voted 166 to 6 for permanent
ban.
So, New York, are we meeker than the Bulgarians?
Are we more frightened?
Are we more resigned to a toxic future?
Here is a loaf of bread from a bakery in my own village of Trumansburg, New York.
You’ve seen me hold this bread before. You’ve seen me carry it into the state assembly
chambers and submit it as testimony. You’ve heard me say that the flour that makes up
this bread is ground at a local mill and that the heirloom wheat that makes up this flour is
grown in local fields. And that the flour in this bread makes up the bodies of my
children.
Well, today, we’ve brought more than a hundred loaves of this bread, a symbol of the
bounty of New York, and we’re going to bring them to our governor, with the message,
“Break bread! Not shale!” To tell you about this plan, I would now like to introduce to
you the baker of this bread, my hero, Stefan Senders, of the Wide Awake Bakery.
[Wide Awake Bakery, 4361 Buck Hill Road, S., Trumansburg, New York 14886;
www.wideawakebakery.com. The millers, Greg Mol and Neil Johnston, and the farmers,
Erick Smith and Thor Oeschner, make up Farmer Ground Flour of Trumansburg.

Ужасно съм горда, че съм българка, особено след горните редове...

Поздравът на Джош Фокс към  българите в началото на речта си.

Горда съм, че съм българка!

И един интересен коментар, към видеото и по-точно обръщението ‎"Good morning my fellow Bulgarians" в началото:

 

 

За да стане наистина нарицателно още много път имаме да извървим, но е мило обръщението и ... му благодаря за доверието.

Много мило, да  

Ето още един материал

Това са снимки от подготвяния дълбок сондаж (до 5400 метра) в района на с.Рогозина, Община Генерал Тошево в блок съседен на този на Шеврон. В този случай разрешението за проучване за нефт и газ е дадено още по времето на Правителството на Сакскобурготски на фирмата ОАО ”БАШКИРГЕОЛОГИЯ“ (2003), след това с удължаване на срока е прехвърлено на РУСГЕОКОМ БГ АД от Правителството на Станишев (2007) и още веднъж срокът е удължен от Правителството на Станишев (2009). Доколкото ни е известно, на нито един етап от издаването на разрешителното и в последствие не е провеждана екологична оценка и/или оценка за съвместимост с обществено обсъждане.

Трябва да се мобилизираме и отново на протести!

"Обратен завой за шистовия газ"

"Забраната за добив на шистов газ най-вероятно ще бъде променена, а мотивите за нейното налагане - преразгледани. Това съобщи ресорният зам.-министър от МИЕТ Делян Добрев, само седмица след като парламентът скоростно гласува рестрикцията."
 "Причината е, че част от записаните термини в забраната са некоректни и касаят не само проучване на добива на шистов газ, но и конвенционалните технологии”, обясни Добрев. Той допълни, че най-вероятно ще бъде създадена временна парламентарна комисия, в която ще влязат представители на всички партии и независими депутати. Те ще поканят експерти, с които да разгледат мораториума отново и ще пишат доклад дали е въведен коректно, необходима ли е промяна и на какво.

Моля, гласувайте тук /изисква регистрация/:

Трябва ли да се разреши проучването за шистов газ?

А против руската фирма няма ли да протестираш? Или те са безопасни!!

asi_55, не аз съм автора на анкетата. Обърни се към него. За мен методът е опасен, независимо от това кой го прилага.

А и въпросът е принципен. В анкетата няма посочена фирма.
