What we recommend is we look at the environmental ramifications a little deeper," says [Taven Kinison-Brown]. Although the county has been granting use permits to oil companies since the 1930s, "Fracking has just recently come to our attention in Monterey County," he says. Among the components listed in Venoco's proposed fracking fluid is a gellant with a 60 to 70 percent concentration of "petroleum distillate blend." Because this is proprietary to manufacturer Baker Hughes, the precise blend is undisclosed, so it may or may not contain diesel or other petroleum grades like paraffin or kerosene, according to a spokesperson from the American Petroleum Institute. Venoco and Baker Hughes declined to comment. About 99.5 percent of the Venoco blend is water and sand.

This year, during an excursion in northern Egypt, the 61-year- old Haitian-born pastor of Boston's Free Pentecostal Church of God did more than preach in the Holy Land that Jesus Christ is the "good shepherd," always watching over his flock. Louis got to practice Christ's message, and he did so in what has recently become one of the most dangerous places in the Middle East.
