Fracking Study Shows Toxic Chemical Exposure 2,000 Feet From Drilling Sites
(Jordan Davidson) A new multiyear study found that people living or working within 2,000 feet, or nearly half a mile, of a hydraulic fracturing (fracking) drill site may be at a heightened risk of exposure to benzene and other toxic chemicals, according to research released Thursday by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
Fracking-Induced Earthquakes in Central and Eastern America Are on the Rise, Caution Researchers
(Isabelle Z.) It’s getting harder for fracking proponents to defend the practice as new studies show that it can be linked to a rise in earthquakes throughout the United States, particularly in areas where seismic events are not historically common – and this is true even when wastewater disposal, which often takes the blame for fracking-related seismicity, isn’t involved.
Fracking Is Responsible for the Earthquakes in Oklahoma; They Are Triggered by the Injection of Wastewater Deep into the Ground
(Janine Acero) The volume and depth of injected wastewater deep into the ground by fracking methods may be the key drivers in the induced earthquakes in Oklahoma, according to a major study published in the journal Science. The study, led by researchers from the University of Bristol, aimed to provide targeted evidence that proves a substantial decrease in induced seismicity in the Oklahoma region, with possible applications in other parts of the world.

Did Hawaii Geothermal Plant Conduct Scalar Weapons Experiments that led to Eruption?
(Dr. Michael Salla) In part 2 of this Exonews TV interview series, Aurora Garcia discusses events she witnessed during the 24 years she lived adjacent to the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) in the lower Puna region of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Hawaii Volcanic Eruption Intentionally Triggered to Generate Massive Tsunami?
(Dr. Michael Salla) An increasing number of earthquakes under Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano preceded the appearance of fissures spewing molten lava in the lower Puna region of the Big Island on May 3. The newly active fissures have led to the destruction of homes, evacuation of residents, closure of roads, and emission of poisonous sulfuric gases that will impact the region for months, if not years, to come.
Colorado Fracking Lawsuit Results in a Historic Win
(Our Childrens Trust) In a 2-1 decision Thursday, the Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s order denying a youth-brought rulemaking petition against fracking and a lower court’s order upholding the denial. The court remanded the case to the district court and the commission, finding that the commission erred in […]
Fracking Found Responsible for Blast that Severely Burned Entire Family – No One Charged
(Claire Bernish) Two and a half years after former oil field worker Cody Murray and three family members endured severe injuries when their pump house abruptly exploded into a fireball, new studies point the finger of blame squarely at one of Big Oil’s most disputatious practices: fracking. Related No fracking, drilling or digging: it’s the only way […]
USGS Finally Admits That Fracking Causes Earthquakes
(Aaron Kesel) It has taken years to finally admit it, but the U.S. Geological Survey has just confirmed that three million Americans are at risk from human-induced earthquakes caused by wastewater disposal, a process in fracking, in 2017.
