One option for Permian operators with too much gas is to light it on fire, a practice known as flaring. Flaring levels reached record highs in the Permian last quarter, when companies burned an average of 407 million cubic feet a day, according to analysis of public data compiled by Rystad Energy, an energy consulting firm.... equivalent to the daily exhaust emitted by about 2.7 million cars, according to estimates from the World Bank and Environmental Protection Agency.
This is non-sustainable. It's not just that our energy infrastructures are non-sustainable. The way we operate within them is just as problematic:

he climate crisis of the 21st century has been caused largely by just 90 companies, which between them produced nearly two-thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions generated since the dawning of the industrial age, new research suggests.
The companies range from investor-owned firms – household names such as Chevron, Exxon and BP – to state-owned and government-run firms.
The analysis, which was welcomed by the former vice-president Al Gore as a "crucial step forward" found that the vast majority of the firms were in the business of producing oil, gas or coal, found the analysis, which has been published in the journal Climatic Change.

Above is an excellent article if you do not find facts annoying and even offensive.
The real danger from fracking is the earthquake. Fracking puts many holes into the mantel and makes it easier to break. As for global warming, well, that is the least of our worries. Consider just one of the recent large volcanic explosions. How many joules gets added to the atmosphere? Most people do not have the time to chase down all the propaganda which sounds like but is not genuine science? If we just got the truth we could take meaningful action, but deception is a part of the world game.
I can tell that people are having a very hard time separating facts from super facts.
ReplyDeleteClimate change, Russian interference in the 2016 election, no difference between males and females, etc. are all familiar examples of super facts. Super facts are neither true nor false as they do not exist on that plane. Super facts are either useful or useless. Facts by contrast are either true or false. For example water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit is true though may vary with altitude. Science is based on facts--hopefully. Politics is based often on super facts. "People would like to pay higher taxes" is a super fact. "You can keep your doctor" is a very famous super fact.
Probably we should not say a politician is lying who expresses super facts, but rather he or she has successfully achieved some desired end or not by producing one.
But I will concede that the introduction of super facts has not made anything easier or better. It has just generated confusion. I think we would be better off sticking to facts. What do you think?

DeleteNuclear power ‘seven decades of economic ruin’, says new report
https://www.pressenza.com/2019/07/nuclear-power-seven-decades-of-economic-ruin-says-new-report/ 29.07.2019 – London, United Kingdom – Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament New research has found that almost all nuclear power plants built since the nuclear industry’s inception have generated large financial losses.
The report by the German Institute for Economic Research examines 674 nuclear power plants built since 1951. Its authors found that typical nuclear power plants averaged 4.8 billion euros in losses.
The report authors argue that new technology for nuclear plants won’t solve the underlying economic difficulties: “Those in favor of nuclear energy like to point out the ongoing technological developments that could lead to it growing more efficient in the future.
“They include ‘fourth generation’ nuclear power plants and mini-nuclear power plants (small modular reactors, SMRs). Anything but new, both concepts have their roots in the early phase of nuclear power in the 1950s. Then as now, there was no hope that the technologies would become economical and established.”
Kate Hudson, CND general secretary, said:
“The history of nuclear power is seven decades of economic ruin and environmental catastrophe. Toshiba’s decision last year to abandon plans to build a reactor at Moorside in Cumbria and Hitachi’s suspension of work this year on the Wylfa Newydd plant in Anglesey simply reflect the economic reality that this report sets out.
“Nuclear power isn’t only expensive, it creates an unsolvable waste problem, and as the TV drama Chernobyl so graphically reveals, nuclear accidents create human misery and environmental destruction.
Later on it will be a good idea to tackle super reasoning or magical thinking which when linked to super facts becomes a very powerful weapon against too much factuality.

New research: 2017 radioactive cloud traced to an unacknowledged nuclear accident in southern Russia
Mysterious Radiation Cloud Over Europe Traced to Secret Russian Nuclear Accident https://www.livescience.com/66050-radiation-cloud-secret-russian-nuclear-accident.html By Tom Metcalfe, Live Science Contributor | July 29, 2019 A vast cloud of nuclear radiation that spreadover continental Europe in 2017 has been traced to an unacknowledged nuclear accident in southern Russia, according to an international team of scientists.
The experts say the cloud of radiation detected over Europe in late September 2017 could only have been caused by a nuclear fuel-reprocessing accident at the Mayak Production Association, a nuclear facility in the Chelyabinsk region of the Ural Mountains in Russia, sometime between noon on Sept. 26 and noon on Sept. 27.
Russia confirmed that a cloud of nuclear radiation was detected over the Urals at the time, but the country never acknowledged any responsibility for a radiation leak, nor has it ever admitted that a nuclear accident took place at Mayak in 2017. [Top 10 Greatest Explosions Ever]
The lead author of the new research, nuclear chemist Georg Steinhauser of Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany, said that more than 1,300 atmospheric measurements from around the world showed that between 250 and 400 terabecquerels of radioactive ruthenium-106 had been released during that time.
Ruthenium-106 is a radioactive isotope of ruthenium, meaning that it has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus than the naturally occurring element has. The isotope can be produced as a byproduct during nuclear fission of uranium-235 atoms.

A truly remarkable presentation by a very intelligent woman.
There is societal collapse occuring. The power elites, are doing everything they can to blame breakdown and collapse on the less powerful and powerless, as usual. Blame it on woman, on migrant children, the disabled, ethnic groups, blacks, working people, the dispossessed, the poor, the middle classes.
ReplyDeleteDimitry Orlov, is one of the few people who is ojectively chronicaling the collapse of America, from the standpoint of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Orlov observes the collapse of America as it relates to comprehensive analysis of the more important aspects of societal integrety ie political, sociological, psychological, economic, and cultural.
Orlov's analysis is based on his observations of the soft collapse of the Soviet Union.
I think Orlov missed a very important phenomena, and perhaps a key phenomena of breakdown in industrial societies. That is the biological aspects of toxin induced breakdowns in highly structured industrial-military-imperial societies.
Good examples of toxic biological breakdowns of established civilization, occured to indegenous populations in the USA, when new diseases were introduced, to what we call america, by europeans . Diseases that wiped out whole civilizations very quickly. Civilizations like the aztecs and incas, with advanced networks of trade and agriculture.
Major societal breakdown and collapse, are occuring in the industial societies. It is evident, that the horendous chemical and radionuclide pollution of america, japan and europe are Central-Catalyzing factors, in the collapse. The seas are dying .
I believe economists and political scientists are looking mainly at symptom of breakdown. They are not looking at the important root causes, that could make the difference between recovery and annihilation.
Orlov documents very carefully the collapse of the soviet union but he does not focus on some especially glaring events, and cause-effect phenomena that occued before the collapse.
There was a major release of super-toxic, radionuclide poisons across europe and russia from chernobyl, that occured in 1986.
Chernobyl occured before and coinincidentally, with the collapse of the soviet union. It was a tipping point. Ukraine was partially ruined by chernobyl and continues its downward tragectory to imminant, complete collapse.
The massive increases in degenration of civil and political structures, are symptoms of much more dangerous and insurmountable causes. Same for the terminal domestic international insanity, of the demented clown-puppets enabled by the sick, syphilitic plutocracies of industrial civilization on earth. The mental stability, of the rulers is now in accelerated decline. That will change too as the world changes and, more tipping points become apparent and catastrophic
It would be helpful to have actual numbers. How many people in the USA have ailments directly linked to industrial activity.

Study Links Birth Defects With Nearby Oil And Gas Activity
The Colorado School of Public Health report shows a strong relationship between congenital heart defects and oil and gas activity.

A recently-published health study indicates expectant mothers living near extensive oil and gas development run a higher risk of having children with birth defects.
The study from the Colorado School of Public Health found that mothers living near intense oil and gas activity have a 40 to 70 % higher chance of birthing children with congenital heart defects. Roughly 4.5 million Texans live within a mile of active oil and gas facilities, according to a 2017 study by the nonprofit Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy.
Dr Lisa McKenzie is an assistant research professor at the Colorado School of Public Health and the study’s senior author. McKenzie says the study analyzed 3,300 infants born in Colorado between 2005 and 2011 to arrive at its conclusion.
“What we observed is that more children were being born with a congenital heart defect in areas with the highest intensity of oil and gas well activity,” McKenzie says.
The reason for the connection between birth defects and oil activity is outside the scope of the study, McKenzie says, but it still supports a larger breakthrough.
ReplyDelete“It does provide more evidence that there may be something about oil and gas development or some emission associated with oil and gas development that is putting children at higher risk,” McKenzie says.
These dangers are posed from any oil and gas activity, McKenzie says, which includes well-drilling, hydraulic fracturing and production procedures.
“In addition to the density of the wells, you have to account for the intensity of activity on those well sites,” McKenzie says. “Not every well site looks like another well site.”
And although McKenzie says congenital heart defects are rare to begin with, she suggests consulting with a doctor before conceiving if you live in an area of extreme oil and gas activity.

scientists observed more than 100 long-lasting, intense fires in the Arctic
in June, the hottest month on record, and are seeing even more in July,
according to Mark Parrington of the European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts.
Mostly in Alaska and Russia, the infernos have
collectively released more than 120 million tonnes of CO2, more than the
annual output of most countries. It is the most carbon emitted since
satellite monitoring began in the early 2000s. This will further exacerbate
climate change and has sent smoke pouring toward more populated parts of
the world. Pollutants can persist more than a month in the atmosphere and
spread thousands of kilometres.

Radiation Detected In Drinking Water In 13 More US Cities, Cesium-137 In Vermont Milk
Jeff McMahonContributor
From Chicago, I write about climate change, green technology, energy.
• Unusual Reading At Chatanooga Nuclear Plant
• Milk Contamination At EPA Maximum
• Highest Levels Yet In Boise Rainwater
[UPDATED with FDA's Derived Intervention Level, EPA's MCL for Cesium-137]
Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday.
Milk samples from Phoenix and Los Angeles contained iodine-131 at levels roughly equal to the maximum contaminant level permitted by EPA in drinking water, the data shows. The Phoenix sample contained 3.2 picoCuries per liter of iodine-131. The Los Angeles sample contained 2.9. The EPA maximum contaminant level is 3.0, but this is a conservative standard designed to minimize exposure over a lifetime, so EPA does not consider these levels to pose a health threat. The FDA, not the EPA, regulates milk.
[UPDATE: The FDA's Derived Intervention Level for iodine-131 in milk is much higher: 4700 picoCuries per liter. Read why.]
The cesium-137 found in milk in Vermont is the first cesium detected in milk since the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear accident occurred last month. The sample contained 1.9 picoCuries per liter of cesium-137. (EPA’s maximum contanimant level for Cesium-137 is 200 pCi/L).
Radioactive isotopes accumulate in milk after they spread through the atmosphere, fall to earth in rain or dust, and settle on vegetation, where they are ingested by grazing cattle. Iodine-131 is known to accumulate in the thyroid gland, where it can cause cancer and other thyroid diseases. Cesium-137 accumulates in the body’s soft tissues, where it increases risk of cancer, according to EPA.
Airborne contamination continues to cross the western states, the new data shows, and Boise has seen the highest concentrations of radioactive isotopes in rain so far.
A rainwater sample collected in Boise on March 27 contained 390 picocures per liter of iodine-131, plus 41 of cesium-134 and 36 of cesium-137. EPA released this result for the first time yesterday. Typically several days pass between sample collection and data release because of the time required to collect, transport and analyze the samples.
