Fracking is wrong

Hello everyone! Today, I will be reporting on my dad's blog post about fracking, something that involves digging underground for oil. Some people are claiming that natural gas or oil is a fuel of the future, and a way to bridge a gap between the dirty and clean energy economy. Dirty energy is made from uranium, coal, oil, and gas, while clean energy is made from wind, sun, and water energy. But natural gas might be pointless. Fracking might be worse than coal for global warming. Some people believe that dirty energy sources are causing global warming which is causing the world to heat up faster then it normally would. That is probably why there was no snow on Christmas last year. Fracking could also be very expensive.

Fracking is a 60-year old procedure in which you have to drill through rocks to find shale. Once the drill finds the shale, it is removed. Steel casing is then placed the entire length of the well and cement is put into the casing. The point is that this process could poison our water supply and heat up the globe. You can watch a fracking animation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN3fFgoqwH4&feature=related and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB3FOJjpy7s&feature=related

Even if natural gas released "only" half the greenhouse gases from coal, or if fracking turns out not to be as toxic as feared, natural gas still wouldn't be a good thing to do because it could probably still cause global warming and still wouldn't be be 100% safe, and we must use energy that is safest for the environment.

This debate has been going back and forth between Democrats and Republicans. That's why I'm an Independent. I'm part of the debate but Independents might have better solutions. Thank you for caring enough about the environment to read this! I hope you learned something!

About my Godzilla installations...

So, those are my kid pix installations up there. But before I go on, I must inform you that it is not all fun and games here. Or maybe it is, you decide? You see, my mom turns everything into a learning adventure. You may look at my interest in Godzilla and see just that, a toy Godzilla. My mom however sees Math, Science , Social Studies, you name it, in everything that we do. For instance, when I make Godzilla toys, we measure them, each and everyone. Ryan helps! And, that’s math! I also have a strong interest in exporting my toys and opening my own Godzilla store. So, we work a lot with money and learning about the business of exporting, and that’s also math! Godzilla can be made from many different types of materials ... plastic, vinyl, clay, etc… . And, these materials can be mixed with other chemicals to make the toy more durable. That’s science! And, I like science! So does Ryan! We also looove learning about Tokyo, Japanese yen, and the Japanese language when we play with Godzilla. Here is a google map that we made of Godzilla destroying buildings around Tokyo (see below). I learned a lot about the city this way. That’s Social Studies! So you get the idea. Now Ryan has something to say. "I have Godzilla unleashed." "And, I have an Anguirus toy." "I have a King Ghidorah toy." "AND I have a Gigan toy." Alright alright Ryan that’s enough. "No, no I have something else to say." What is it? "I also have a Mothra toy!" Okay, okay, (covering Ryan's mouth) back to you people, here are some of my drawings of Godzilla. And some that Ryan drew. I just love my little brother:)!
