Excellent article et bonne conclusion.

La réponse la plus probable est que les services communication des
industriels ont bien fait leur travail. Caroline Roux s’est probablement
vu proposer une visite « informative » aux États Unis pour lui
permettre de juger sur pièce.
fin de citation
C’est vieux comme le monde, cela est une forme de « corruption » ... je te rend un service ... et tu me rend un autre service au retour. Hors cette journaliste ce discrédité elle même comme certains scientifiques qui se laissent acheter ! Se sont des traitres agissent pour le comptes des multinationales !
L’article suivant apparue dans le journal The New York Times révèle les effets néfastes de l’exploitation du gaz de schiste aux États Unis.

L’article en américain couvre 5 pages ... c’est à partir de la page 2 que cela devient particulièrement intéressant !
Quelques extraits :
Other documents and interviews show that many E.P.A. scientists are
alarmed, warning that the drilling waste is a threat to drinking water
in Pennsylvania. Their concern is based partly on a 2009 study, never
made public, written by an E.P.A. consultant who concluded that some
sewage treatment plants were incapable of removing certain drilling
waste contaminants and were probably violating the law.
Yet sewage treatment plant operators say they are far less capable of
removing radioactive contaminants than most other toxic substances.
Indeed, most of these facilities cannot remove enough of the radioactive
material to meet federal drinking-water standards before discharging
the wastewater into rivers, sometimes just miles upstream from
drinking-water intake plants.
“Hydrofracking impacts associated with health problems as well as
widespread air and water contamination have been reported in at least a
dozen states,” said Walter Hang, president of Toxics Targeting, a
business in Ithaca, N.Y., that compiles data on gas drilling.
Gas has seeped into underground drinking-water supplies in at least five
states, including Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West
Virginia, and residents blamed natural-gas drilling.
Air pollution caused by natural-gas drilling is a growing threat, too.
Wyoming, for example, failed in 2009 to meet federal standards for air
quality for the first time in its history partly because of the fumes
containing benzene and toluene from roughly 27,000 wells, the vast
majority drilled in the past five years.
In Texas, which now has about 93,000 natural-gas wells, up from around
58,000 a dozen years ago, a hospital system in six counties with some of
the heaviest drilling said in 2010 that it found a 25 percent asthma
rate for young children, more than three times the state rate of about 7
percent.
Anywhere from 10 percent to 40 percent of the water sent down the well during hydrofracking returns to the surface, carrying drilling chemicals, very high levels of salts and, at times, naturally occurring radioactive material.
Bref, celui qui prêtent encore que l’exploitation du gaz de schiste est une affaire rentable est un menteur ! Cette technologie contribue à une des plus grandes catastrophes écologique initie par les compagnies pétrolières qui ont la vue très courte, seulement guidé par leur profit à court terme. L’environnement, notre santé, l’avenir de futurs générations ne compte pas pour ses gens !
