A Land out of Time 


The gas drilling boom here in the Rocky Mountain West caught me
totally off guard as it has many Westerners. Unless you were an
energy analyst, it just didn't occur to you that the Forest Service
and Bureau of Land Management would suddenly be leasing millions of
acres to the gas and oil industry and then issuing tens of thousands
of permits to drill all over the heart of the West.

But when the gas boom really got going, it was obvious that, left
unchecked, it would transform the Rocky Mountains forever. We're
seeing thousands of miles of roads being built on unspoiled ground to
develop gas wells, billions of gallons of water pumped from the
aquifers of Montana and Wyoming to develop coal-bed methane wells,
and the ruin of the wild places we depend on to hunt, fish, and hike.
We're watching great swaths of America's Western geography being
rendered into an industrial landscape.

And for what? A few days or weeks supply of natural gas, spread
over the next couple of decades. It's woefully short of the kind of
supplies that would lower prices or make us energy independent. This
land grab is short-sighted in the extreme, the modern equivalent of
breaking up the furniture for firewood.

             UPDATE: Occupation of Wyndford Primary



http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/04/426381.html



03.04.2009 22:57

The occupation of Wyndford Primary, 116 Glenfinnan Drive, Glasgow G20 8HL. is strong and well. I have spoken to Nicola at 21:51, a parent inside the school. They have no intention of leaving and have barricaded themselves inside. The police are away at the moment and all that is left are security guards, but we do not know for how long.



Spirits are high with a karaoke and pizza the theme of tonight. There is a demo called for 12pm outside the school tommorow to show support against the closures and to give much needed moral boosts for the parents and occupiers.



There are currently 13 people inside, many parents with children and one of the parents has their childs birthday tommorow. They are asking if anyone can help in anyway, either to take turns in shifts to let one or two get to see their children or if you could bring some desperately needed supplies.



They have asked for....



Sleeping Materials - airbeds, covers, pillows etc as they currently have only a couple of airbeds.



Camping Stoves - the gas has been turned off, although currently they still have heating in the school.



Pots, Pans and cutlery or anything else you think they would need for the occupation.



MOST OF ALL THEY NEED OUR SUPPORT.



Please show solidarity with the occupation, messages of support have came in from all across the world to their mobiles, its helping with moral.



SAVE OUR SCHOOLS, PLEASE HELP SUPPORT THE OCCUPATION IF YOU CAN.



The parents send their thanks to those who have shown support already.



You can check the situation before going up by texting 07894123721.



Many thanks for your time.
