Pali nkhondo yomwe simukudziwa pakati pa mgwirizano wa mphamvu zazikulu ndi gulu laling'ono la zigawenga. Ndi nkhondo yachinsinsi yomwe ikumenyedwa mumithunzi pamene mukuyenda tsiku ndi tsiku.

Pamapeto pake, mkanganowu ukhoza kukhala wofunika kwambiri kuposa momwe aku Iraq ndi Afghanistan adachitira. Ndipo komabe zikuchitika kutali ndi masamba akutsogolo a nyuzipepala komanso popanda chidziwitso pa nkhani zausiku. Komanso sikumenyedwa ku Yemen kapena Pakistan kapena Somalia, koma m'midzi yaying'ono kumpoto kwa New York. Kumeneko, gulu lotayirira la omenyera ufulu likuchita kampeni ya zigawenga osati ndi zida zophulika kapena mabomba othamangitsidwa ndi rocket, koma ndi malamulo ogawa ndi zopempha. 

Zida zikhoza kukhala humdrum, koma chiwerengero chake sichingakhale chokwera. Pamapeto pake, tsogolo la dziko lapansi likhoza kukhazikika.

Nyengo yonse yachilimwe, maloto owopsa a kusintha kwa nyengo ankabwera mofulumira komanso mokwiya. Zakale zomwe zinali zachonde zaku America kuphika m'malo owuma omwe amafanana ndi kum'mwera kwa Sahara ku Africa. Mazana a zikwi nsomba kufa m'mitsinje yotentha kwambiri. Maekala mamiliyoni asanu ndi limodzi Kumadzulo kudyedwa ndi moto wolusa. Mu September, a lipoti olamulidwa ndi maboma 20 ananeneratu kuti anthu pafupifupi 100 miliyoni padziko lonse lapansi atha kufa pofika chaka cha 2030 ngati mafuta osagwiritsa ntchito mafuta ochulukirapo sachepetsedwa. Ndipo zonsezi zidachitika mphepo yamkuntho Sandy isanawononge mzinda wa New York ndi gombe la Jersey.

Utsogoleri wa Washington, zikafika pakusintha kwanyengo, wayamba kale kulephera. Purezidenti Obama kuloledwa chimphona chachikulu chamafuta BP kuti ayambirenso kubowola ku Gulf of Mexico, pomwe Shell idaloledwa kuyamba kuyezetsa kubowola m'nyanja ya Chukchi pafupi ndi Alaska. Pakalipano, chiyembekezo chabwino kwambiri choyika zoletsa kusintha kwa nyengo chili ndi kayendedwe ka udzu. 

Mu Januware, I cholemba Kumpoto kwa New York kukana kukana kuphulika kwamphamvu kwambiri kwa hydraulic fracturing, ukadaulo wopatsa mphamvu kwambiri womwe umatulutsa methane ("gasi wachilengedwe") kuchokera kumadera akuya kwambiri padziko lapansi. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, kutsutsidwa kwanuko kwapitirizabe kulimbana ndi makampani opanga magetsi ndi boma la boma m'njira yomwe ingapangitse dziko lonselo zaka makumi angapo zikubwerazi. M'midzi ing'onoing'ono ndi matauni ang'onoang'ono omwe simunamvepo, omenyera ufulu wawo akuyimira zomwe zitha kukhala chiyambi cha chiwonetsero chomaliza cha tsogolo la Dziko Lapansi.

Frack Fight 2012

New York si dziko lina chabe. Mzinda wake waukulu ndi likulu lazachuma padziko lonse lapansi. Olamulira ake asanu ndi limodzi akale apita ku utsogoleri ndipo Bwanamkubwa Andrew Cuomo akuwoneka kuti ali ndi chidwi chofuna kuthamangira ku White House, mwina mu 2016. Ilinso ndi mbiri yamayendedwe, kuyambira pakuthetsedwa ndi ufulu wa amayi m'zaka za zana la khumi ndi zisanu ndi zinayi. kukhala mu makumi awiri ndi chimodzi. Makampeni ake azachilengedwe aphatikiza madzi Mlandu wa Storm King Mountain, pomwe omenyera ufulu wawo adagonjetsa mapulani a Con Edison osema chimphona chakumaso kwa chizindikiro cha Hudson River. Chigamulocho chinakhazikitsa ufulu wa aliyense wozenga mlandu m'malo mwa chilengedwe.

Masiku ano, cholowa chomenyera ufuluchi chikuwonekera pa zigawenga zomwe zachitika kumpoto kwa New York, kulimbana ndi anthu wamba aku America kuti ateteze zomwe zatsala mu demokalase yawo komanso malo osalimba a Dziko Lapansi kuchokera kumakampani akuluakulu omwe akufuna kuwononga onse awiri. Kumbali ina pali anthu odana ndi fracking ku New York; kwinakwake, makampani a gasi, dipatimenti yoona za chilengedwe m’boma, ndi bungwe la New York logwirizana ndi Joint Landowners Coalition.

Ponena za Bwanamkubwa Cuomo, wakwanitsa kukwiyitsa mbali zonse ziwiri. Iye ankawoneka utakuti agwire ntchito mu June wapitawu pofotokoza kuti athetsa 2010 kuimitsidwa kwa fracking komwe adayambitsa David Paterson ndikutsegulira boma kuti lichite; kenako, mu October, iye anaonekera kwa bwerera pambuyo pa zionetsero zolusa zomwe zidachitika ku Washington DC, komanso Albany, Binghamton, ndi matauni ena akumtunda.

“Sindinaonepo [gulu lachilengedwe] likufalikira ndi moto wolusa ngati uwu,” akutero Robert Boyle, wochirikiza zachilengedwe komanso mtolankhani yemwe anali pakati pa mlandu wa Storm King. maziko Riverkeeper, chitsanzo cha mabungwe onse oteteza mitsinje. "Zinanditengera zaka 13 kapena 14 kuti ndipangitse Mtsinje woyamba kupita. Fracking si choncho. Zili ngati kuyatsa sitima ya ufa.”

Yopangidwa mu 2008 komanso yokulirakulira kwambiri pazomangamanga zake kuposa mawonekedwe oyimirira okhawo omwe adapangidwa ndi Halliburton Corporation m'zaka za m'ma 1940, kuphulika kwamphamvu kwambiri kwa hydraulic fracturing ndiukadaulo wowononga nthaka, wowononga madzi wokhala ndi mpweya wowonjezera kutentha choposa cha malasha. Njirayi imayamba ndikutulutsa madzi okwanira miliyoni imodzi mpaka asanu ndi anayi amadzi amchenga ndi makemikolo pamitsempha ya bomba la hyperbaric pamtunda wa mailosi kapena kupitilira apo padziko lapansi. Zambiri zamadzimadzizi zimakhala pansi. Mwa zotsala, palibenso chilichonse chomwe chimapezekanso kuthirira kapena kumwa. A posachedwa lipoti ndi Ofesi yodziyimira payokha, yosagwirizana ndi boma la US Government Accountability Office idatsimikiza kuti fracking imayika chiwopsezo ku thanzi komanso chilengedwe.

Kukaniza kwapakati ku New York State ku fracking kudayamba pafupifupi zaka zinayi zapitazo kuzungulira matebulo akukhitchini ndi m'zipinda zochezera pomwe oyandikana nawo adayamba kulankhula zaukadaulo wowopsawu. Kubowola mozama gasi wopezeka mosavuta kudachitika kwa zaka zambiri m'boma, koma ntchito yayikuluyi yamakampani idayimiranso china.

Anthony Ingraffea wa dipatimenti ya zomangamanga ku yunivesite ya Cornell, wolemba nawo kafukufuku yemwe adakhazikitsa njira yotentha ya dziko lapansi, akuti mtundu watsopanowu wa fracking ndi chiwopsezo chosayerekezeka ku chilengedwe komanso thanzi la anthu. “Pali zinthu zambiri zodula malo, kuwononga nkhalango ndi minda yambiri. . . zikwi za mailosi a mapaipi. . . masiteshoni ambiri a kompresa [omwe] amafuna kuyatsa unyinji wochuluka wa dizilo. . . [kutulutsa] ma hydrocarbon mumlengalenga.” Ananenanso kuti ndi nkhani ya "thanzi la anthu ambiri poyerekeza ndi chuma cha ochepa."

Polimbana ndi chuma chimenecho pali gulu la 99% - alimi, akatswiri a sayansi ya zakuthambo, atolankhani, aphunzitsi, oyang'anira mabuku, osamalira alendo, eni ake ogulitsa moŵa, ndi mainjiniya. "Ku Middlefield sife apadera," akutero Kelly Branigan, wogulitsa malo omwe chaka chatha adayambitsa gulu lotchedwa Middlefield Neighbors. "Ndife anthu wamba omwe adasonkhana pamodzi ndikuphunzira, ndipo adalowa m'matumba athu kuti tigwire ntchito pa izi. Ndizolimbikitsa, ndizodabwitsa, ndipo ndi America - kusintha kwake pang'ono. ”

Chaka chatha, Middlefield idakhala imodzi mwamatauni oyamba ku New York kugwiritsa ntchito zida zochepetsetsa, malamulo oyika madera, kuti athe kubweza fracking. Poyamba, imeneyo inali kuoneka ngati ntchito yosatheka kwa anthu wamba. Mu 1981, boma lidatulutsa mabungwe agasi ku malamulo aku New York omwe amatsimikiziridwa ndi malamulo anyumba omwe amatsatira malamulo a tawuni ya Trump. Mu 2011, komabe, maloya a ku Ithaca a Helen ndi David Slottje adathetsa lamulo losangalatsa la gasilo pokhazikitsa kuti, pomwe boma limayang'anira mafakitale, matauni atha kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zawo zoyimitsa kuti izi zisamachitike. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, ziletso zambiri ndi moratoria - opitilira 140 onse - ateteza matauni ku New York pakubowola kwamphamvu kwambiri. 

Izi Ndi Zomwe Demokalase Ikuwoneka

Caroline, kanyumba kakang'ono ku Tompkins County (anthu 3,282), ndi tawuni yachiwiri m'boma kupeza 100% yamagetsi ake kudzera mumphamvu yamphepo komanso imodzi mwaposachedwa kwambiri yoletsa chiletso. Anthu okhalamo akuyimira kukana kwapakati kwa New York.

"Ndikukayikira kwambiri kuti mabungwe amitundu yosiyanasiyana ali ndi zokonda madera," Don Barber, Woyang'anira Caroline, adandiuza posachedwapa. "Boma lidagulitsa [anthu aku America] atasiya kuphwanya malamulo a Water Water and Air Act," adatero. "Maboma a federal ndi maboma salimbikitsa anthu. Kwatsala mulingo umodzi wokha. Limenelo ndi boma la m’deralo, ndipo likutibweretsera mavuto aakulu.”

Wachiwiri kwa Supervisor wa Caroline, Dominic Frongillo, akuwona kukana kwanuko mawu apadziko lonse lapansi. Iye anati: “Mosayembekezereka, tikukumana ndi vuto la kusintha kwa nyengo. "Kunali kwinakwake, kuchotsa pamwamba pa mapiri ku West Virginia, kubowola pansi pa nyanja ku Gulf of Mexico, mchenga wa phula ku Alberta, Canada. Koma tsopano…ndipo apa pansi pa mapazi athu kumpoto kwa New York. Mzere wajambulidwa apa. Sitingathe kupitiriza kuthawa makampani opangira mafuta. Simungasunthe malo ena, muyenera kungokumba komwe muli.

Zaka ziwiri za ntchito yoletsa kuletsa ku Caroline zidaphatikizanso chisankho chomwe chidalowa m'malo mwa mamembala oyendetsa tawuniyi ndi otsutsa, mabwalo ophunzitsira anthu, komanso kupempha kwa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi. “Tinagogoda pakhomo lililonse kawiri kapena katatu,” akukumbukira motero Bill Podulka, wasayansi wopuma pantchito amene anayambitsa bungwe lotsutsa m’tauniyo, ROUSE (Okhala Otsutsana ndi Kutulutsa Gasi Wosatetezedwa wa Shale). "Anthu ambiri amadana ndi kubowola gasi koma amawopa kulankhula, osadziwa kuti anthu omwe akukhudzidwawo anali ambiri osalankhula." Pamapeto pake, 71% mwa omwe adayandikira adasaina pempholo, lomwe linapempha kuti aletsedwe.

Pa Seputembara 11, mkangano womaliza pakati pa otsutsa ndi otsutsa unachitika, pambuyo pake Barber adayitana voti. Chiletso chinavomerezedwa mopambanitsa. "Kwa nthawi yoyamba," adauza gulu la anthu lomwe linasonkhana mu holo ya tawuni ya Caroline yoyera, "Ndikhala ndikuvota kuti ndisinthe ufulu pakati pa anthu ndi mabungwe. Izi ndichifukwa chakuwonongeka kwa thanzi komanso chilengedwe. Ndipo nzika zathu zambiri zavota kuti zivomereze chiletsocho. ” Kenako komitiyi inagamula 4 kwa 1 mokomera.

Stealth Invasion

Pafupifupi chaka ndi theka chapitacho, pamene Caroline ndi matauni ena anali kusuntha kuti ateteze malo awo ku mafakitale, XTO, kampani ya Exxon-Mobil Corporation, inayamba kukonzekera tsogolo labwino m'boma. Idayang'ana mthunzi wamitengo, Oquaga Creek, malo olowera ku Delaware odzaza ndi ma trout kumtunda kwa Sanford County ku New York State, adabwereka malowo, ndikufunsira ku Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) kuti alandire chilolezo chochotsa madzi. XTO imafuna, idatero, kotala la malita miliyoni amadzi kuchokera mumtsinje tsiku lililonse kuti agwire ntchito zake za hydraulic fracturing.

Delaware Riverkeeper, bungwe lazachilengedwe, adapeza za XTO application ndikufalitsa. Patangopita masiku ochepa, bungwe la DRBC linalandira makalata 7,900 okwiya. Pa June 1, 2011, anthu mazanamazana, okonzedwa ndi anthu odana ndi frackers, anafika pamlandu ku Deposit, mudzi wa Sanford Township womwe uli pafupi ndi mtsinje ndi nthambi yakumadzulo kwa mtsinje wa Delaware. Ndi anthu awiri okha omwe adalankhula pamsonkhanowu mokomera XTO. Mmodzi anali Supervisor (meya) wa Sanford, Dewey Decker. Adayamika ntchito ya XTO ndikudzudzula ochita ziwonetsero ngati "akunja." Iye ali m'gulu la eni minda omwe atero malo obwereketsa ku XTO kwa mazana mamiliyoni a madola. (Decker anakana kufunsidwa mafunso m’nkhani ino.) Ena onse a khamu la anthu analankhula molimba mtima ponena za mtsinjewo, nsomba zake, ndi nyama zake zakuthengo. Delaware River Basin Commission idapereka chigamulo cha XTO mpaka kalekale.

Ngakhale chigonjetso chachikulu, gawoli lidakhalanso chenjezo la momwe makampaniwa akutsimikiza kuti apite patsogolo ndi mapulani osakhazikika ngakhale kuti boma liyimitsabe. Zotsatira zake, a Caroline ndi matauni ena akupitiliza kupanga njira zothana ndi vuto lanyumba, popeza akudziwa kuti kuletsa kwa 2010 kutha nthawi iliyonse Bwanamkubwa Cuomo akavomereza malamulo omwe akulembedwa ndi dipatimenti yoona za chilengedwe (DEC).

Zikafika pamalamulowo ndikusokonekera nthawi zambiri, DEC imakhala ndi zotsutsana. Ngakhale ikuyenera kuteteza chilengedwe, ilinso ndi ntchito yoyang'anira mafakitale omwe amawadyera masuku pamutu kudzera mugawo la Mineral Resources Division. Chaka chatha, DEC analandira pa 80,000 ndemanga zolembedwa pa ndondomeko yaposachedwa ya malangizo ake amakampani, tsamba la 1,500 "SGEIS" (lomwe limayimira "Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement"). Otsutsa oboola anaposa otsutsa 10 mpaka 1. Chigumula chinali mbiri mu mbiri ya bungwe.

Othandizira sanali okhawo omwe anali ndi chidwi kwambiri ndi SGEIS, komabe. Zolemba zomwe zidapezedwa kudzera mu Freedom of Information Law ku New York zikuwonetsa kuti, mkati mwa Ogasiti 2011, milungu isanu ndi umodzi DEC isananene mawu ake, bungweli. adagawidwa chidule chatsatanetsatane chake ndi oyimira makampani a gasi, kupatsa makampani mwayi woti asinthe chikalata chomaliza chisanatuluke poyera.

Masiku awiri SGEIS isanatsegulidwe kuti anthu aziwunika, loya wa Chesapeake Energy Corporation yochokera ku Oklahoma ndi makampani ena adapempha olamulira kuti "achepetse kapena kuthetsa" chofunikira pakuyesa kwamphamvu kwamadzi ophwanyika. Madzi otere amakhala ndi poizoni, kuphatikiza ma carcinogens, omwe mphepo yamkuntho imatha kukokoloka pamalo obowola - chiyembekezo choyipa kwambiri chifukwa cha kusefukira kwamadzi komwe kudachitika m'boma zaka zitatu zapitazi.

Nthawi yomweyo, atolankhani awiri aku New York kuwululidwa kuti Bradley Field, yemwe ndi mkulu wa bungwe la DEC la Mineral Resources Division, adasaina pempho lomwe limakana kukhalapo kwa kusintha kwa nyengo. Yemwe kale anali a Getty Oil ndi Marathon Oil, Field imatumikiranso ngati nthumwi ya boma ku Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission ndi Ground Water Protection Council, mbali zonse zamakampani zomwe zimatsimikizira kuti fracking ndi yabwino. Pamene izi zinali kuonekera, akuluakulu a boma osadziwika yathyoka Mawu amalingaliro oti atsegule zigawo zisanu kumalire a New York ndi Pennsylvania kuti asokonezeke bola ngati madera akuthandizira ukadaulo.

Izi ndi zomwe Autocracy Imawoneka                                       

Mu May 2012, Dewey Decker ndi komiti yake adavomereza chigamulo cholonjeza zimenezo tawuni ya Sanford sangachitepo kanthu motsutsana ndi fracking, podikirira chigamulo cha DEC. Panalibe chidziwitso choyambirira. Nzika zidasiyidwa kuziwerenga m'mapepala a m'deralo. “Mumadzuka m’maŵa wotsatira n’kunena kuti, ‘Kodi chachitika n’chiyani?’” anatero Doug Vitarious, mphunzitsi wopuma pantchito wa pasukulu ya pulaimale ya Sanford.

Mu June, mutu wankhani mu Deposit Courier, pepala la Sanford, lolembedwa kuti “Akuluakulu Akuluakulu M’madera Oyenerera Amavomereza Zosankha Zosamalirira Kubowola.” Pachidutswacho panali mapu a matauni amene anagamulapo zigamulo zoterozo. Kulembetsa pansi pa mapu werengani: “Joint Landowners Coalition of NY” JLCNY ndi wothandizana nawo pakampani ya gasi m’boma, yemwe cholinga chake ndi “kulimbikitsa… chidwi cha onse… pokhudzana ndi chitukuko cha gasi.” Decker akuyimira bungwe ku Sanford.

M'nyengo yachilimwe, Vitarious ndi nzika zina adafunsa gulu lawo la tawuni komwe chigamulocho chinayambira, koma adakhala chete. Iwo anapempha bungweli kuti lithetse chigamulocho ndikuchita referendum. Decker anakana.

Pofika kumapeto kwa Ogasiti, matauni 43 a m'derali anali atapanga zigamulo zotsatiridwa ndi zomwe zikuwonekera patsamba la JLCNY. Limanena kuti m'deralo "palibe choletsa kuphwanyidwa kwa ma hydraulic fracturing chomwe chidzachitike boma la New York lisanasankhe [sic]." Pansi pa New York's Freedom of Information Law, Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy ndi National Resources Defense Council adapeza zolemba kuchokera ku Sanford ndi matauni ena awiri za momwe anakwaniritsa zolinga zawo. Zolemba, akutero Bruce Ferguson wa Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, “mauthenga atsatanetsatane pakati pa ogwira ntchito pakampani yamafuta ndi akuluakulu aboma.”

Miyezi iwiri chimphepo chamkuntho Sandy chisanachitike, Sue Rapp, dokotala wa psychotherapist wochokera kudera lina. ndi tawuni ya Vestal, adandiuza kuti kusefukira kwamadzi kumamudetsa nkhawa monga china chilichonse chokhudza fracking. Upper New York State idasefukira mu 2010 ndi 2011. Kenako Sandy adabwera. Madzi osefukira amasandutsa malita mamiliyoni ambiri amadzi otayika omwe alibe malo otetezeka kukhala mitsinje yapoizoni yomwe imapita m'madzi.

Mosiyana ndi board ya Sanford, Vestal's sanaletse mkangano. Idamva zotsutsana za kuimitsidwa kwa Rapp ndi bungwe lomwe adayambitsa nawo, Vestal Residents for Safe Energy (VERSE), komanso pempho loyimitsa madotolo ndi akatswiri ophunzira. Zomwe adachita, komabe, zidangokhala kukhala pamanja, kudikirira DEC ndi Cuomo kuti apange chisankho chomaliza. Izi zikufanana ndi kutengera udindo wa JLCNY mu mavoti onse koma ovomerezeka. "Chikuchitika ndi chiyani?" adafunsa Rapp mwachiwonetsero ku Binghamton mwezi watha wa Seputembala. “Akufuna kutitsekereza. Koma timavota ndipo tidzavota. Sitikupanga [zomwe ovomereza kubowola amatcha] nkhanza za anthu ambiri, koma ochuluka chabe. Izi zimatchedwa demokalase. "

Ziwonetsero zotsutsana ndi pulani ya Cuomo, yomwe idakokera anthu masauzande ambiri ku Washington DC, Albany, ndi kwina ku New York, idaphatikizanso malumbiro ochita kusamvera boma ngati bwanamkubwa angakwaniritse zolinga zotsegula malire a Pennsylvania m'boma. Kumapeto kwa September, aNew York Times adalengeza kuti Cuomo wasiya zomwe adachita mu June. Lipotilo linati akuluakulu a boma asintha maganizo. Wodziwika bwino chifukwa cha kulimba kwake komanso nzeru zake zandale, kazembeyo adzakumana ndi zovuta zandale m'miyezi ikubwerayi. Mwina angasangalatse othandizira ogulitsa gasi kapena maziko ake a demokalase. Kulikonse komwe angapite, zitha kukhudza mwayi wake ku White House.

Zomwezo, komabe, ndizokulirapo kuposa zomwe a Cuomo akufuna Purezidenti. Kutsegula gawo lililonse la boma ku fracking kudzawononga chilengedwe. Chofunika koposa, kupambana kwakukulu ku New York State kungatsegule chitseko chakuchita opaleshoni yapadziko lonse lapansi. Kutayikiridwa, m'kupita kwa nthaŵi, kungayambitse kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe chimene dziko lapansili silingathe kupirira. Zokayikitsa momwe zimamvekera, tsogolo la Dziko Lapansi likhoza kukhala ndi okhala ku Middlefield, Caroline, Vestal, ndi midzi ing'onoing'ono ndi matauni ang'onoang'ono omwe simunamvepo.

"Maso onse ali ku New York," akutero Chris Burger, yemwe kale anali phungu wa m'chigawo cha Broome komanso m'modzi mwa kagulu kakang'ono kamene kananyengerera bwanamkubwa womaliza wa New York, David Paterson, kuti apereke lamulo loletsa boma kuphwanya malamulo. “Ili ndiye vuto lalikulu kwambiri la chilengedwe lomwe New York sanakumanepo nalo [osati] ku New York kokha, dzikolo, ndi dziko lonse lapansi. Ngati iimitsidwa, iimitsidwa pano.
