Rosia Montana and the former blue Danube

Jeudi 10 novembre 2011, par Orez (K.) // act

I haven’t lost my time in Rosia Montana - even if if was so short ! I discovered the rotten ambiance of the village, the omnipresence of the mining company, the greed of the priest, the roman gallery and, more of all, the RMGC plans. I did show it to Ani and now i send you the pictures : current situation ; Rosia Montana up and right ; at the bottom, Abrud ; under the Ceausescu’s mine, the village of Corna almost disappeared today. simulation after 7 years : Corna totally disappeared (...)

Mardi 28 septembre 2010, par Orez (K.) // act

Barrick Gold is mining for gold at Mt. Tenabo in Nevada’s Crescent Valley, a mountain sacred to the Western Shoshone in part because of the springs it contains.

Tenabo’s springs. The court directed the federal Bureau of Land Management, which permits and regulates the Barrick mine, to come up with a (...) Lire la suite »

Oil and gas drilling : dangerous ?

Jeudi 6 mai 2010, par Orez (K.) // act

OIL & GAS DRILLING : DANGEROUS ? OR DONE RIGHT ? Tell President Obama to make the right choice : reverse his decision on new offshore drilling, and support the FRAC Act Drilling is risky. Always. The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico cruelly demonstrates that drilling – even when federally regulated, even when industry employs "failsafe" technology – risks catastrophic damage to the environment and the communities that rely upon that environment. There’s a drilling boom onshore. (...) Lire la suite »
