France dit non à la fracturation

By

I recently gave a presentation showing the “Grassroots Perspective of Fracking” to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. You can read about that HERE.

All, except for the Canadian who blatantly supported all types of hydrocarbon extraction, were deeply moved. The dignitary representing France seemed angry that America would allow such abuses to their citizens and the environment. He said, “America should follow the precautionary principle like France.”

I couldn’t agree more!

Vive la France!

    Hi Sharon,

    Thanks for the update, I spoke with the mom, she was very dismayed and mentioned there had been an incident involving fortune cookies, but she’s on it.

    I do appreciate these world leaders (at all levels) who are serious about protecting people and our life-sources, and it appears Spain is no exception.

    “Mayor Saiz explains that the region’s food supply is even more at risk because 80 percent of the economy relies on cattle ranching. ‘If the water is contaminated, we will suffer irreversible damage; the wells, the noise from the trucks will shatter our peaceful environment,’ the mayor said.

    ‘If the trucks come, I will be the first one to throw myself on the highway to stop them,’ said Mayor Saiz.”

        My translator’s off for the day, but I think it might be Kickafracassa España … or something to that effect.
