Read the article: Colorado Floodwaters Cover Fracking And Oil Projects:
‘We Have No Idea What Those Wells Are Leaking’.
This is the beginning:
Colorado flooding has not only overwhelmed roads and homes, but also the oil and gas infrastructure stationed in one of the most densely drilled areas in the U.S. Although oil companies have shut down much of their operations in Weld County due to flooding, nearby locals say an unknown amount of chemicals has leaked out and possibly contaminated waters, mixing fracking fluids and oil along with sewage, gasoline, and agriculture pesticides.
“You have 100, if not thousands, of wells underwater right now and we have no idea what those wells are leaking,” East Boulder County United spokesman Cliff Willmeng said Monday. “It’s very clear they are leaking into the floodwaters though.”

Is there a possibilty to email Kjell Aleklett ?
And if i want to send few pieces of paper, is there a mail address ?
This afternoon, friday 27/9 i heard a lecture buy Isabella Lövin, EU.Fishery,
and some thoughts came up in my old mind.
Prefere to express me
on few papers instead of phone conversation.

American fracking agenda includes consumption of massive amounts of water and this makes projects with handy water supplies, either ground or surface flows, essential. Floods will always bring some unwanted pollution when waters flow over fracking operations.
The water picture in America has deteriorated as we have steadily depleted major aquifers, like the Ogallala (Midwest) and the Central Valley Aquifer in California. The depletion of the Central Valley Aquifer has allowed serious salt water intrusion into the aquifer environs. Water shortage in California will affect fracking, as well as leading to some extreme water distribution decisions for domestic and agricultural users. It does not have to be this way..
Food security as well as the interests of oil & gas extractions invite rethink of the “NAWAPA” ; “North American Water And Power Alliance” suite of water and hydroelectric power engineering features, first proposed some 60 years ago. In fact, it is now very important to approach all energy extraction and production in context with, and as a partner in other engineering requisites including transport policy, water supply, food production, etc…
This may be a new concept to many, but a California start-up company headed by Christopher C. Swan is tackling the challenge of fine-tuning infrastructure synergism head-on. Others are doing so to a lesser degree, but Swan includes robust transport policy makeovers aimed at reducing America’s oil import as a strategic imperative, not simply an environmental or politically correct issue.
The importance of balanced fuel, food & transport infrastructure enhancement for Northern Hemisphere allies is a great concern when we actually look in depth at goings on in the Middle East, and study war consequence papers from various strategic think tanks. No country in the West will escape the impacts in the worst case scenarios posited by some strategic authorities. Iranian determination for membership in the nuclear club in context of ever more complicated Islamic feuding should be a warning to all. Worst case can come from Israeli reaction to attack, not because of Israeli preemption missions.
One certainly counts on wiser heads in the fossils extraction fraternity grasping the task of looking at the big picture presented by things as they are, not a narrow view of what we wish they would be.
