a super moon on my left and flourescent green and white fishing boats on the water....
and oil below the surface makes for a rather spooky awesome night!
hey...don't mess with moms who want a healthy environment for their children to grow up in...that's the lesson to take from Measure P....the anti-fracking initiative....as I watch the vote day get closer, I see the pro-oil folks up north are in a fever and sweating globules of oily water from they brows..the News-Press of course is pro-oil..at any cost because of the money and the profits that are promised to everyone...kinda like the Chumash who promise lots of money to everyone...nevermind that it's all blood money....
so I'm reading the News-Press and Andy Caldwell is opining about oil..Andy is a professional liar as I've pointed out and is threatened by the women who put Measure M on the ballot....
ok we know all that but another guy caught my attention..a feller named McCalip who was a principal and superintendent but the byline doesn't say where or what or why...a principal of what and a superintendent of what..a toilet???
anyway this guy says acidizing is safe and used to clean not only oil wells but water wells of "crusts"..I think he means mineral desposits...just pour a bunch of acid down the well and dissolve the crusts?? well, not exactly... you need to be really careful when using acid...muriatic acid can burn you quick and will react VIOLENTLY with high calcium deposits..This reaction causes overfoaming or an explosion of acid spewing 20-30ΚΌ out of the well...It can create a hazardous cleanup condition since inherent ingredients consist of heavy metals, i.e., lead, arsenic, zinc, etc....Little attention is given to the dangers of chemicals to on-site personnel, the effects
of corrosive liquids on well casings or screens, and the potential of contaminating aquifers with nonbiodegradable, hazardous chemicals
is it safe? is it safe? is it safe??

BIG oil and gas believe their industry should have no boundaries. They want to frack wherever, whenever and however they please, to build dangerous pipelines anywhere they wish. Their cynical CEOs say it’s all about energy independence, while they push to ship gas and oil across the globe to whomever can pay the highest price. They fight to prevent citizens from suing for fair compensation when deadly accidents and dangerous spills occur, while they push for the right to sue anyone who discloses the names of the chemicals used in fracking.
when I was living at Rancho Monte Alegre before Arnold and Maria but after Olive Carey, we used well water..occasionally pebbles/sand would come out of the tap or clog the lines...the ranch foreman had to hightail it up to the well and clean it out..he never used acid...never never....
so to claim that acid is used on water wells and used safely..well, this dude McCalip must be stuck somewhere back in the 1950s
this is the year 2014...and the oil companies need to clean up their act...God Knows they got the money to do it...but that money is going to pay people like Andy Caldwell to lie for them...and this other get McCalip...I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he took some oily cash too!
dumbfounded...yet elated!!!
