Sept 22 Ch 9 ?s – Blockadia


Don Enss

Chapter 9:

1.      What was the most important exchange that took place in 1995, immediately after the killing of Ken Saro-Wiwa?

2.      The number of rail cars carrying oil has increased by what percent in just five years? (How many of them go through Tennessee?)

3.      What did it take for Christina Mills, who worked as an auditor for oil companies in Oklahoma, to finally change her mind about fracking?

4.      What actions did the people in Richmond California take that should give us hope that we too might be able to effect change?

5.      Beyond the fossil fuel industry’s pace of expansion, what else has propelled the environmental movement forward?

6.      Besides contaminating our drinking water, what other impact does fracking have on the geology of the area and adjoining areas where the fracking is being done?

7.      What happened to cause the largest onshore oil spill in U.S. history?


8.      In a sane world, all of the rail line disasters, from Montreal to North Dakota to New Brunswick to Lynchburg, VA, would have prompted significant political change, so what does the lack of response tell us about the world?
