Minnesota citizens and environmentalists march against another pipeline.
"Organizers estimated that 5,000 anti-pipeline and climate change activists took part in the colorful and peaceful march."

The same week that abbott 
said ban the ban on fracking-
http://truth-out.org...l-fracking-bans
a frack well "blowout" spewing toxins in a large area went off in Texas.
"The well, one of two that blew out that week, exploded outside of Karnes City in the Eagle Ford shale, one of the most heavily fracked places in the US.
The fracking well spewed enough oil, gas, and chemicals to leave a ¼ mile gash of dead vegetation
and contaminated land.
The blowout also released an unknown amount of methane, a greenhouse gas
85 times more powerful than carbon dioxide."

They're calling it "the worst pipeline spill" in Canada.
"Pipeline spill in Alberta, Canada has leaked some 1,320,000 gallons,
or 31,000 barrels, of emulsion — a mixture of bitumen, produced water, and sand."

A good sized earthquake; 4.4 just hit in Oklahoma.
Imo, fracking based although others will say shifting whatever.

Oh they'll argue about it, no doubt.
A large (4.5) earthquake hit Oklahoma because of fracking. (In the heart of oil country, btw)
Will we ever have another Einstein? I don't know; cause it sure seems we're more moronic each day.
From the article-
"Oklahoma and several other central U.S. states have experienced a major increase in earthquakes
since 2009.
Scientists attribute this to increased underground injection since then of briny wastewater,
a byproduct of booming oil and gas production."

Luckily, no one was hurt but the halliburton plant in Pampa, Tx was leveled the other day from a strong tornado. 
Imo; karma.

Oklahoma's powers that be are finally stepping up and saying enough is enough.
They're calling for a 40% reduction in oil/gas drilling because of their increasing earthquakes.
Ha!
