How Is Hydraulic Fracturing GREEN ENERGY?

Hydraulic Fracturing commonly known as ‘Fracking,’ in my opinion is far from being ‘GREEN ENERGY.’

For with Hydraulic Fracturing, tons of water, sand and chemicals are forced underground at high pressure.  This pressure forces cracks in the rock to allow natural gas to be released. Sounds good so far, doesn’t it?

However, although that sounds simple, if cracks appear in the well shaft, leakage of chemicals will go into the ground water supply. If this contamination happens and its ingested, it can cause sensory, respiratory or neurological damage.  

Also, chemicals evaporate into the air per extraction, this contributes to the air pollution and endangers those living within the vicinity. Well that’s the clean air policy out of the window!

You cannot sugar coat ‘Fracking,’ it’s the worse type of drilling that not only endangers health but it’s also bad for the environment especially as the waste is not biodegradable and is difficult to get rid of. It also creates water shortages by using water from natural streams and rivers, drying them up.  Remember we’re short of fresh water and need water to survive, not gas!

The sci-fi book, “The Walkways Awakening,” tells a similar story about a fracking incident in the UK where it causes a global disaster causing vein like cracks to appear beneath the surface of our planet. This causes earthquakes and opens up huge sinkholes and creates an anomaly within the Hadron Collider that causes an even bigger problem. So, is my written word to become reality?

As although it’s a science fiction story that contains factual elements, it has a frightening ending of which none of us could endure if we were to survive! 

In my opinion fracking is the opposite to a cleaner environment, but hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Did We Kill The Dinosaurs?

The question is, “Did we kill the dinosaurs?” We’ve all seen pictures, or watched documentaries relating to the subject of dinosaurs and bones; we’ve also been told that these were wiped out by a meteorite. But I have a theory. Is it possible that we were riding on the meteorite in the form of an organism that actually wiped them out? It could explain how we as a different species got on the planet in the first place, but it’s only a theory. But if I’m right, isn’t it possible that all the insects, birds and other wildlife came to this planet in the same way, and that’s the reason why there are so many different species on Earth, with more being discovered each year? But hey I’m no expert. What do you think? Author: Charmain Ingleton www.thewalkways.co.uk

Is The Giant Hogweed An Alien Life Form?

The question, “Is the giant Hogweed an alien life form?” I read an article that claimed that heatwaves in the United Kingdom caused the most toxic plant the “Giant Hogweed,” to spread. The plant, it’s botanical name “Heracleum Mantegazzianum,” was imported from Central Asia in 1893. Now, I don’t believe that the importers knew how dangerous this plant was. However, we’ve since learnt that it has a wicked defence mechanism. The sap contains toxic chemicals and can burn people and animals if its touched. I understand that most plants have some type of defence mechanism that’s used if they feel threatened, but this seems a bit extreme for a plant don’t you think? So, with that in mind, could it be an alien life form? We all assume that aliens walk on two legs, but could some have roots instead? But hey, I’m no Botanist, it’s just a theory. What do you think?   Author: Charmain Ingleton www.thewalkways.co.uk

What Are These Mysterious Balls Of Light?

The question is, “What are these mysterious balls of light?” Noticed by their illumination and seen during both night and day. Mysterious balls of light are seen regularly flying in different parts of the world. They move swiftly and silently through the skies without difficulty. So, what are they? Drones possibly. But who do they belong too? With balls of light appearing, manoeuvring and disappearing at speed I find it hard to believe that they’re programmed, or operated by any person remotely. With that said, isn’t it possible that these little machines are manned by a life form or even operated telepathically from another planet? But hey, I’m no scientist.
