Opinion: The health risks of fracking justify Adams County’s new regulations

The ColoradoSun online newspaper published my op-ed today about the Adams County Commissioners’ new fracking regulations. It’s similar to the comments I submitted to each Commissioner during the public comment period.

PSR in the news: Boulder Daily Camera

If Dr. Helmig is guilty of monetary improprieties, as implied by the university, I will guarantee it was a mistake. My assertion is that Dr. Helmig’s work revealed the health hazards from fracking, and those wells are owned by an extremely powerful group (the oil and gas industry), and that group wanted him silenced.

Dr. Detlev Hemig fired from CU

In April 2020, Dr. Helmig, was abruptly fired from his academic post with the university barring him from his lab and 25 years of research. This was an unexpected action to remove a researcher who was willing to publish data contradicting the powerful Oil and Gas Industry. PSR Colorado is concerned that the firing of Dr. Helmig is political and related to the financial ties the Oil and Gas industry has with CU Boulder.

Legal updates Rocky Flats

The incurable cancer threat remains despite the recent anthropogenic geographical interstices of the Rocky Flats Superfund site: the current Rocky Flats Site (OU1), Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge (OU2), Jefferson Parkway (OU2), and offsite lands (OU3) where respirable - Plutonium Dioxide - dust remains.

Soil contamination/Plutonium update 4/1/20 - Michael Ketterer

Decades of studies have demonstrated that soils from the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge and surroundings contain elevated levels of plutonium (239+240Pu). The plutonium originating from Rocky Flats is found in two distinct forms: a) plutonium that is dispersed relatively uniformly on the surfaces of all the soil particles, and b) “hot particles” of essentially pure plutonium dioxide.

“I can’t breathe.”

Across the country and even the globe, citizens of all races, colors, social classes, statuses, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, physical abilities, and religious beliefs are mourning the May 25th, 2020 murder of George Floyd. Tragically, Mr. Floyd is not alone.

Important Review Paper: A Quick Look at Plutonium Contamination from Rocky Flats

The first of the two nuclear bombs used against Japan was a uranium bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima. The second bomb, which destroyed Nagasaki, was a plutonium bomb. U.S. authorities soon realized that plutonium bombs weighed less but had a bigger explosion, so they decided that all future U.S. nuclear bombs would be made with plutonium. The Austin Company of Cleveland, Ohio, was given the task of selecting a site for this plutonium work. They chose a place called Rocky Flats, 16 miles northwest of downtown Denver.
