Re: Carbon markets don't work (4.00 / 4)

Shale gas "production" in the US:

and in Dombas (the Dontezk area in Ukraine):

Эта скважина находится в 5км. от первых жилых домов. Со слов жителей очень ощутимы были гидроудары, как физически, т.е. была сильная вибрация, так и в шумовом виде. Работы велись круглосуточно - люди не могли спать и находиться на улицах! Гул и шум, который не прекращался, был слышен всем!В поселке упал уровень воды в колодцах! Всех рабочих для работы привезли, даже повар не наш был. На этом проекте из села работали только сторожи, медсестра и кух. работник. Вот вам и рабочие места... Воду нашу тоже не пили иностранцы и их работники, привозили свою...Едем к скважине №2. Работы приостановлены. Возобновить обещают в апреле.Пока такая картина.Опять все на сх поле. Рядышком растет озимая родимая пшеничка. Площадь, отведенная под саму скважину, примерно 2 га.

This borehole is located 5 km from the nearest village houses. The residents told that the hammerring was very perceptible, both for physically, i.e. a strong vibration, and in the sound form. The work was done around the clock - people could not sleep and be on the streets! Hum and noise, which did not stop, was audible to everyone. The water level in wells of the village dropped! All workers were brought from outside, even the cook. Only keepers, a nurse and a kitchen assistant were taken from from the village for this village. That much job creation... The foreigners and their employees did not drink our water, brought it of their own... We're driving to hole #2. The work here is suspended. Promissed to renew in April. This picture so far. In the middle of an agricultural field again. Winter wheat is growing nearby. The well area takes about 2 hectares.
