$Hydraulic fracturing requires massive amounts of water. Disp$

Summary

This quote highlights the environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. The process of extracting natural gas or oil from geological formations requires significant quantities of water. The concern lies in the disposal of the toxic wastewater generated during fracking, which, if not handled properly, can contaminate drinking water sources. Additionally, accidental spills can further contribute to water pollution, posing threats to human health and well-being. This explanation underscores the negative consequences hydraulic fracturing can have on water resources and emphasizes the importance of responsible handling and management of the resulting wastewater.

The oblivion fear is something else, fear that I won't be able to give anything in exchange for my life.

And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything.

Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
