It is imperative that the citizens of New Brunswick be protected from the alarming environmental side-effects of today's hydraulic fracking processes, which include water table, soil, eco-system and wildlife contamination. In Alberta, farmers living near fracking sites can light their tap water afire. Last year nearly a dozen onsite workers were injured due to a propane fracking explosion. In Pennsylvania, a well pad explosion at the Chevron site killed one employee. Common sense would suggest, that this fracking project, located at the McCully gasfield in Penobsquis, which has plans to inject 3,000,000 litres of liquid propane into four well-pads located approximately twenty five metres adjacent to nearly thirty homes, according to information from the N.B. Conservation Council, puts these nearby residents in potential danger. In British Colombia, The Fort Nelson First Nation have noticed earth quake activity related to fracking injections. Let us protect our children and grandchildrens' futures and voice a resounding "NO" to the fracking industry in New Brunswick. Thank you.
