I stumbled across this website while looking at the Government of New Brunswick (GNB) website in search of news to post on The Shiretown Blogger. It is a site with information about the shale gas industry in New Brunswick.
It is rumored that the province of New Brunswick has a wealth of natural gas in the form of shale deep beneath the surface of the ground. The only way to extract this gas is through a process called hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. Fracking has been known to contaminate well water to the point where it can be ignited using a match straight from the faucet, and the fumes of the wells can be hazardous to human health. This is the case in Arkansas, and even in western Canada.
Currently, companies are traveling rural New Brunswick to explore for shale gas. Test wells are being drilled to determine if there are enough shale gas deposits to make the industry profitable and viable in New Brunswick.
Lately, the issue of shale gas exploration, drilling, and extraction in New Brunswick has gained a lot of notoriety. Many large protests have been held in the Moncton and the provincial capital of Fredericton. The development of shale gas is still in the very early stages.

I am not exactly sure why the URL link to the GNB page is highlighted in white. This usually happens when I copy and paste something from another website directly to the blog. Why it continues to happen is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteHi Nathan, as you've no doubt discovered, Blogger has some idiosyncrasies that we don't understand. This may be yet another of them although I haven't found it. Normally, when I'm copying something from another site, I paste it first into Notebook and then copy and paste into the blog script from there. That eliminates all formattting and allows you to do what you want with the text. It's a simpler way than trying to modify the formatting on someone else's text. Hope that helps.

Hello Humble Blogger,
ReplyDeleteBlogger does have a few imperfections here and there, I agree. I have only noticed text highlighted in white if I have copied and pasted directly from another site, but must admit, I have copied and pasted things to Microsoft Word or an equivalent program, then copied and pasted to the blog. I do notice the text isn't highlighted in white in the post after doing that.
Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it, and will keep it in mind.
