This is also our new website for our earlier comment about the University of Alabama solar desalination product.

King of AL 4:11PM March 31, 2013

Portable Alkaline Water Machine with Enriched Hydrogen & Ionized-Minerals - Uses NO Electricity - Removes dangerous reactive oxygen species (Reactive oxygen created in our body destroys human cells, organs, bodily functions and thus causes disease & illness. This is known as the fundamental reason of early aging and human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, asthma, atopy, allergy, gastritis, gastric ulcer, liver, cirrhosis, hypertension, hardening of the arteries, cerebral apoplexy, etc.). Can use anywhere in the world. Easy, Quick Setup (4 – AA Batteries - provided). Attach unit water line to existing faucet (adapters included if needed). Allow the water to run through the system for 3 minutes. Maintenance: change filters when flow meter indicates filter expiration (4,732 liters)

These units can also be placed together in arrays of literally any number of panels, as needed, to accommodate a desert farm or any remote area that needs water.

You want a smoking gun?

West Divide Creek Colorado - circa 2004 and a Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Hearing document wherein their own staff geologist implicates fracking in a blowout which continues unmitigated to this day - benzene in the groundwater and all.

Think the EPA is some rouge tree hugging agency? Think again. Ask the Science Advisory Panel why the Creek is too hot to investigate in the 2012 study. And I don't just mean thermo-gas-hot. I also mean radioactive hot. Has anyone looked at the condition of the aquifer? Heck no. Too damning.

Want the facts? Best I can gather, I've posted here: journeyoftheforsaken.com

You say:

"While it makes for great public relations to scare folks with stories of natural gas in association with well water, geologists will point out that people reported lighting water from wells over 100 years ago in energy rich parts of the world."

I have heard prestigious geologists in NY and PA make these statements, implying strongly that, most of the time, when methane appears at dangerous levels in drinking water it has always been there and that methane poisoning of groundwater is common.

These statements have NEVER been supported with competent generalizeable empirical evidence.

When I examined the scientific literature on this topic I found that the baseline prevalence of dangerous levels of methane in drinking water is quite low (around 1%) in the absence of nearby gas drilling.

The correct statement is: dangerous methane in drinking water is uncommon except in numerous instances near gas drilling.

In the instance of Dimock, PA, the Driller, Cabot, admitted in two voluntarily-signed consent orders that they had contaminated the waters of Pennsylvania.

Methane was the contamainent.

While its true that EPA made an error here when it issued the order against Range - at least they finally did something to correct that error. If you followed this saga as I did, you'll know that Ms. Jackson (or someone else in DC) is not the culprit - far from it. This order was issued by Region 6 of the EPA which is headed by an activist Regional Administrator who bragged about this order on TV before it was even sent to Range. Frankly the recent actions of Ms. Jackson with regard to Dimock, Pavilion and now the Range case appear to suggest that she and her senior team are trying to reign in the real problems in EPA like Al Armendariz. Judge EPA for its actions - but don't blame the one person who appears to be trying to do things right.

NEWS FLASH FOR ENVIRO-WACKOS

1. Since the end of the Pleistocene Epoch earth has been in an "interglacial period" - I'd like to keep it that way - ice is a killer of civilization.

2. Global temps began rising, causing the ice sheets to recede, 11000 years before Suv's and the Industrial age.

3. There have been at least two mini- Ice Ages in the last 10,000 years - each followed by global warming.

4. Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age - with century long pauses during periods of "global cooling. Sea levels have risen nearly 300 feet in the past 15000 years...

5. The "Little Ice Age" ended about 1855 - We have been in a general warming trend ever since - Thank God.

6. All the melting "pole" ice shelves that everyone is panicking about have melted before. During the Medieval Warming (950-1250) Vikings grew crops in Greenland.

7. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that man made co2 has anything to do with possible global warming. Anthropogenic co2 accounts for less than 2% of Co2 in the atmosphere. If we followed the green banners and marched back to the caves - leaving 99% of our fellows to die - the Co2 meter would barely move.

8. H2o is (water vapor) is the most common green house gas representing 95% of green house gas.

9. More "bio-mass" is present at the middle latitudes and far less as the poles. You may check this out by trying to grow something on a sheet of ice and compare that to your success in a "green house". More food means fewer dead people.

10. Petro-factoids... More oil spilled into the sea every 6 weeks during the nearly 6 years of WWII than in the entire 65 years since its end. Guess what? The oceans survived those 3600+ ships, (hundreds were oil tankers - all were full of fuel oil and chemicals) sinking. When Cabrillo explored California, in 1542, he sailed through an oil slick more than a hundred miles wide caused by "natural seepage". Oil platforms actually reduce the amount of "natural seepage" Less than one barrel per day is lost from all the 3800+ oil platforms each day - more than 1500 barrels seeps into U.S. territorial waters from natural, undersea fissures each day The worst man made oil spill in history took place in 1944 when American planes dropped tons of bombs on 77 Japanese ships in Truk Lagoon. All were sunk. These ships still leak oil to this day. Truck Lagoon is not a "Super Fund Site" - rather it is a premier dive resort with a diverse ecosystem.

12. The DDT ban, born of Rachel Carson’s hysteria, has cost the lives of tens of millions of people - mostly children. DDT saved millions of lives during World War II. And despite decades of DDT has never been shown to have any ill effects on humans. If our leaders could have summoned the political will to use DDT in the one New York county that was infected with West Nile Virus in 1999 we might have saved more animals and humans - each year - than DDT has ever harmed - even in the minds of eco-zealots.

These dang Gov departmints! First, they git rid of jim cow. Then, they git rid of nice cheap cigarettes and make the smokers pay for their own cancer. The force us off of harmless cfc's! Force us to clean our water! Make us have seat belts and air bags! And now this! The whole bunch of them are rogue commies!

What's a scared, middle class, white male Torrie, uh, I mean American to do?!?

Global warming denial, claims that conventional energy sources are "limitless" and ties to ALEC.

All the above positions are taken as fact at Institute for Energy Research.

They aren't so much a research organization as they are a PR firm funded by fossil fuels.
