staceythinx: As a former surfer, Paul Bobko had plenty of time to observe waves of all shapes and forms. It was during this time that he found his inspiration for his series Water Landscapes-Suspended Energy.  About the project: In his magnum opus, Gravity’s Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon introduces us to the German concept of Brenschluss in the telemetry of the flight of the V2 rocket. The rocket is propelled by its engines and travels along its parabolic arc. At a certain point the engines turn off, this flameout is called brenschluss. At brenschluss the rocket’s ascendancy is checked by gravity, and before it begins to fall to its target on earth, it hesitates for just a moment. After this moment gravity and momentum alone, not a rocket engine, define the inexorable trajectory of descent to its inevitable, calamitous end. So to do Paul Bobko’s Water Landscapes-Suspended Energy photographs allow us to see that very moment of hesitation when the force of nature that is the ocean wave, ceases to be propelled by the surging forces of the ocean floor. The ocean suddenly lets go and sets it free, it hesitates at this moment of release, then crashes on the shore, liberated, but spent. Bobko shows us this very moment of hesitation, before the explosion. The outline of the explosion is clear and coming, but it hasn’t happened yet, it is, as yet, prelude…the power is still coiled in the curl, frozen for this second. Light comes glowing through that watery tunnel, foam is leaping from its crest, escaping and ecstatic. The menace is limned in the terrifying flexing of its form. It is most exhilarating to see the noun become the verb.

Noble Energy spending BIG $$ in CO for shale gas extraction

Noble Energy Inc. is expanding its operations in Colorado with $8 billion in investment over the next five years.

The company is developing horizontal wells that stretch nearly two miles through the oil-rich Niobrara formation, which lies beneath a big swatch of eastern Colorado.

Houston-based Noble has expanded its holdings to 880,000 acres and is experimenting with increasing the density of wells drilled from the same pad.

Experts: Fracking depletes water supply

When water is used for fracking, it’s used to extinction.

“It’s taken out of the hydrological cycle, never used again,” Phillip Doe, a former environmental compliance officer for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation

“As a culture, energy use in all its forms is the cornerstone of our culture,” Schuller said. “If we’re going to be a society that consumes energy, we do need to contemplate, from where will I get my energy? How is water used to get it to me?”

I wonder why…”The oil and gas industry had opposed the requirement in the Colorado rule calling for the disclosure of chemical concentrations.”

I love water. I love beer. Not fracking cool you frackers...not cool at all!

Some excerpts from the article: 

COOPERSTOWN — Brewery Ommegang is warning that it would have to consider relocating if the town of Middlefield’s ban on gas drilling is struck down and horizontal gas drilling begins.

“If its water were to be contaminated, the Brewery could be forced to move its business elsewhere,” the court papers state. “Its Master Brewer and Quality Control chemist agree that even if Brewery Ommegang wished to do so, it could not remove many of the toxic chemicals commonly used in hydrofracking, should they be released into the Brewery’s water supply.”

“You can’t build a filtration plant that would get rid of (the toxic chemicals used in fracking),” Bennett said. He also noted that trucking water into the plant would be too expensive.
