Declare Oil Shale Reserves to be a part of Strategic Petroleum Reserves
Stop oil shale fracking in its tracks. Stop oil train transportation of highly volatile crude oil in its tracks. Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline in its tracks. Stop the pollution of freshwater aquifers by fracking and deep-well injection of fracking waste water. In case of a real national emergency, the oil and gas will still be there for the taking.
Why is this important?
We have nearly all seen videos of explosive train wrecks during transportation of this highly volatile crude oil. We have nearly all seen the videos of tap water from private water wells catching on fire. The technology needed to extract the oil and gas is proven, but the techniques are causing massive contamination and dangerous transportation.
