This bubbling up of oilfield wastewater first happened in 2008 and 2009 where the fracking boom was born, in Wise County, Texas. Specifically it happened in Chico, Texas and coincides with a number of miscarriages and weird physical ailments. www.texassharon.com/2009/12/27/b...

A cheer for the rebels who will not sleepwalk into the middle years of the climate crisis! On my way to Boston, as I cycled along the delightful Somerville Community Path, shortly before 6am, even the morning sunshine and the songbirds seemed to be saying, "take courage."

5 trained and prepared activists arrested while conducting a non-violent protest to stop new gas infrastructure. Using a pink car, pink barrels and their bodies, rebels blocked access to the Gas Forum where Build Baby Build is the attitude despite Mass's legal mandate to be net zero by 2050

The Northeast LDC Gas Forum is conducting business as usual at The Westin Hotel despite the looming climate crisis. Outside, police use power tools to separate activists from barrels & a pink car emblazoned with the phrase "GAS IS BAD FOR MASS" parked in the intersection at Copley Square.

Westin Welcomes Climate Criminal Conference featuring panels such as "Build Baby Build: Natural Gas Infrastructure Project Updates and Innovative Solutions to Move Gas to Markets". Mass government is encouraging its profit-making infrastructure plans despite the net-zero mandate. #ClimateCrisis

XR Boston demands that Massachusetts ban new fossil fuel infrastructure. Fossil Fuel Barons push to build more gas infrastructure that will be either stranded assets or still in use by 2050, and the state is encouraging their climate-assaulting, profit-making plans.
