What the Frack?!

[Earth_First]

What is it?

It's a Hydrofrack tank.

A water storage unit for use in high-volume-hydrofracking.

Each unit holds 25,200 gallons of water.

Each well requires 21 of these.

Yes, that's 529,200 gallons of water!

What's that, Texas...?

1. Corporations' rights trump people's.

And the corporations need water to frack more than the people need water to drink.

2. That's a common sight around Ohio and WV these days. Is that

for an oil shale or a gas well? I have been hearing they need several million gallons for each of the gas wells around here.

3. If we need to frack for oil we're seriously running out

I can't believe people are still saying we don't need to worry about oil running out for 50+ years, when we are now squeezing it out of the ground like a dried up washrag. 50 years ago people were literally wading in oil as it rose to the surface and demand has increased 1000 times, and THIS is supposed to last us? Seems like we got about 5 years left at most.

4. Tiger Tank.

That is what we call them.
